Abstract

Negotiating identity is a salient feature of many researchers’ experiences. In this article, we expand on the current literature in examining how interdisciplinary scholars leverage identity to engage with diverse populations, organizations, and information. Using case studies, findings suggest that it is crucial to share various parts of professional and personal identity, speak the language of participants, reflect on both individual and collective identity, draw upon interdisciplinary training, and recognize the benefits and limitations of flexible identities. Finally, we consider how the integration of researcher identity in early stages of the research process may facilitate its transition into practice.
