Maxwell's Model of Research Design
- Goals-Why? What? Why?
- Conceptual Framework- What beliefs/theories/prior research inform/guide?
- Research Questions- What do you want to understand?
- Methods- How will you collect your data (Epistemology/Ontology)
- Validity- How might you be wrong? Validity threats?
Luttrell's Reflexive Model of Research Design
Researcher Identity Includes
- Subjectivities (bias), predispositions
- practical, theoretical, ethical, moral, and political principles
- Personal experiences/local knowledge and expertise
"How are you a part of the setting, context, and social phenomenon you seek to understand?..How will you "name" yourself and others?" (Luttrell, 2010, p.161)

As ethnographers, we are also like colonizers when we fail to question our own identities and privileged positions, and in the ways in which our writings perpetuate "othering". (Villenas, 1996, p.713)

What does Villenas add to our understanding of researcher identity? What must we consider? As dominant-culture researchers? As researchers from marginalized cultures?

"For these reasons, researchers must examine how their subjectivities and perceptions are negotiated and changed, not only in relation to the disenfranchised community as research participants, but also through interactions with the majority culture" (Villenas, p.722, 1996).

Your Researcher identity
- Visually represent the components of your researcher identity
- How does your identity shape your presumptions about your topic?
- How does your identity relate to or inform your topic?
- How might your identity make it into components of your research design?
