Development in Practice, 2019, vol. 29, issue 7, 927-935

Abstract: This article explores dimensions of ethical research practice, decision making and the importance of taking a reflexive approach during development studies doctoral research. The researcher is a non-indigenous midwife, from a developed country, while the research was based in Papua New Guinea, a developing country in the Pacific region. The key point of inquiry is to better understand the nature and practice of reflexivity using the personal experiences of the author, who grappled with a variety of tensions. Reflexivity is argued to play a crucial role in the validation of qualitative research and is a vital component of practicing cultural safety.
