Reflexivity Prompts_Researching People & Places You Know

This handout provides structured reflexivity prompts for researchers studying communities or contexts they already know. Organized by novice, intermediate, and advanced entry points, the prompts help researchers critically reflect on assumptions, prior roles, power dynamics, and ethical responsibilities when working as insiders. An AI-infused extension demonstrates how generative tools can supplement reflexivity practice by generating tailored questions, while keeping the researcher accountable for interpretation. This resource supports qualitative training, teaching, and ethical practice by strengthening habits of self-inquiry and transparency.
