Power is irrelevant to research methodologies.

It remains static once it is identified.

It changes as researchers gain new experiences and insights.

It is fixed based on one's educational background.

It changes only if the researcher moves geographically.

It refers to researchers who work both inside and outside the community.

It is the dynamic of being either part of or separate from the community one is studying.

It refers to individuals who research communities in which they reside.

It describes community members who participate in research but do not influence the outcomes.

To ensure that researchers have complete control over the project.

To maintain neutrality in the research process.

To confront power dynamics and make research more equitable.

To avoid any discussion of social identity in the research.

To finalize research findings.

To compare research results with other studies.

To reflect on how researchers' identities and assumptions shape their work.

It limits the scope of research to one social identity.

It ignores the influence of race and gender on research.

It acknowledges that multiple social identities intersect to shape experiences.

It focuses only on economic factors in research.

To establish the researcher as the authority.

To avoid addressing sensitive topics like race and privilege.

To create more equitable, power-balanced relationships between researchers and communities.

To minimize community involvement in decision-making.
