Interrogating White Positionality Through (Auto)Ethnography

ABSTRACT This paper examines social position, autoethnography, and the possibility of “Homework” in methodological practice. Epistemological concerns about positionality and power in research have only increased in recent years and remain unresolved. Our work asks how we can fuse epistemological questions and practice through a feminist, anti‐racist methodology focused on home as praxis. Looking homeward (however home is defined) through autoethnography embraces the reality that a researcher's biography shapes research practice. Moreover, centering our own experiences necessitates a level of analytic reflexivity as we make sense of ourselves both at home, and not at home, while also rendering home as a new possibility.
