Preeminence of IdentityTaking its place alongside such core
metaphors as culture, phenomenon, discourse, and narrative, identity has emerged as an important trope in qualitative research.
Be it people's sense of themselves as members of a family, culture, corporation, or the world society, qualitative researchers are interested in learning how people come to define themselves within their varied contexts.

Struggles with IdentityThis area of research is also fraught with
controversy as researchers and their research participants struggle with gender, sexual, cultural, brand, product, customer, and corporate identities and the methodological and ethical decisions entailed in studying such phenomena.

Transparency of IdentityAn associated concern is how do we
clearly and ethically identify ourselves as researchers to our research participants, clients, and colleagues and how they come to identify us?
How transparent do we become as we dance with our own self-identity and the identities of others?
![Page 12: Ron Chenail TQR Second Annual Conference January 8, 2011.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cfa5503460f949cc1e1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Identity DifferenceAs these dance steps are made, how do
we as producers and consumers of these (e)merging arcs make decisions of quality and utility?
As we explore these self-narratives and narratives of others, what are the differences that make a difference in our qualitative research?

Identity DefinedIdentify suggests both a sense of the
individual:Identity: The collective aspect of the set of
characteristics by which a thing is definitively recognizable or known. The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition (2004)
And a sense of the relational:Identity: The set of behavioral or personal
characteristics by which an individual is recognizable as a member of a group. The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language , Fourth Edition (2004)
![Page 15: Ron Chenail TQR Second Annual Conference January 8, 2011.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cfa5503460f949cc1e1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Identity DefinedIdentify also suggests both a sense of
uniqueness:Identity: The distinct personality of an
individual regarded as a persisting entity; individuality. The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition (2004)
And a sense of sameness:Identity: The quality or condition of being the
same as something else. The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition (2004)
![Page 16: Ron Chenail TQR Second Annual Conference January 8, 2011.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cfa5503460f949cc1e1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Identity as MetaphorThree Parts to a Metaphor
Two distinct but connectable partsThe perspectives each brings to the other
Individual and Relational / Unique and SameSomeone and Someone ElseFluid and Multifaceted
![Page 17: Ron Chenail TQR Second Annual Conference January 8, 2011.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cfa5503460f949cc1e1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Epistemology of IdentityIdentity is discovered or recovered
Identity is created or performed
Identity is co-constructed and negotiated (Lavis, 2010)

Identity ImpliesSo these relational dualisms suggest we should be sensitive to both
How we identify as
And
How we identify with

Who, What, When, Where, Why and How do we identify ourselves as something?

Ethical Imperative of IdentityYou may not be able to choose how someone
identifies you as something or someone else, BUT
You should be aware how you identify yourself with something or someone else, AND ESPECIALLY
You should be aware how you identify someone with something or someone else.

Identity UbiquityAll research involves identity
Sometimes identity is more overt than others
Identity ignorance or opaqueness does not lessen ethical responsibility
Identity is an ongoing responsibility
