2024 Association for Assessment and Research in Counseling Conference

Table 1. The aim of the current presentation is to help critically evaluate the practices of positionality statement in counselor education. This session will provide counselor educators and researchers approaches for enacting a relational, contextualized, and power-conscious positionality that can be applied to their qualitative inquiry. Positionality statements can become an intentional stance towards dismantling oppressive research traditions and can have a transformative impact on the future work counselors and researchers do with marginalized folx.
