Transferable skills seminar: "From theory to practice: positionality and active reflexivity in research"

25-03-2026

 

This seminar invites PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, ZAP members, and other interested persons to explore and critically reflect on the concept of positionality in research. We are honored to welcome Prof. Sarojini Nadar, a critical feminist researcher in -amongst others- social justice, who will speak to the theoretical and methodological importance of positionality and reflexivity, and will offer some provocations relevant to health sciences. Following her talk, participants will engage in a collaborative reflection session, considering how various aspects of their own positionality shape their research practices.

Speaker: Prof. Sarojini Nadar, Desmond Tutu Centre for Religion and Social Justice Office, University of the Western Cape (South Africa)
