Abstract

This work examines how a personal relationship influenced my professional positionality as a researcher interested in social connections, discussing how experience influences positionality of the researcher. An examination of positionality informs equitable and person-centered practice and research. My experiences with my chosen family—and a particular friendship—informs the way I approach my practice, my research, and my life.
