Abstract

The article focuses on the edited volume that explores the practical applications of reflexivity and researcher positionality in applied linguistics research. It compiles contributions from 14 researchers across various subfields, providing empirical insights and guidance on how reflexivity can be understood and practiced. The volume emphasizes the importance of acknowledging researchers' identities and experiences, illustrating how these factors influence their research processes and relationships with participants. While it effectively promotes the value of reflexivity, the article notes the absence of discussions on the potential risks and ethical considerations associated with being reflexive, particularly for researchers from marginalized backgrounds. Overall, the collection serves as a significant resource for graduate students and early career researchers in applied linguistics. [Extracted from the article]
