Reflexivity

L

Hello
I am in my final year and doing a qualitative thesis using narrative inquiry. I am keen to write an overall reflexivity section in one of my methodology chapters, which presents an overview of the general influences i belive i may have had on the data colelction and analysis process. Has anyone else written anything similar?

I plan to also write reflexively throughout my analysis sections but felt that an overview would also be appropriate but a little unsure how to proceed.

Thanks

I am doing exactly the same Lixatron as I went back to conduct an ethnography in a school I used to teach in. As mine is narrative, reflexivity run right through it. I have used a reflexive diary and illustrated the methodology with critical incidents and other extracts from the diary. I have a whole section outlining my previous role and relationship with the participants. Not sure whether it will go in at the beginning of the methodology, or in a different part at the end.
