Ep 06 Research Reflexivity with Dr. Jonathan Rigg

In Episode 06 of the SUMERNET "Research 4 All" podcast series, we speak to Dr. Jonathan Rigg on how it is important for researchers to reflect on their field work encounters, especially in local situations about actors who have influenced the “dialogue of knowledge” and the process of knowledge construction. Dr. Rigg provides five tips for early career researchers to help design or plan their research, to allow for interactive reflections on the part of the researchers especially when working with local actors and contexts that often can shape or consciously seek to shape the knowledge produced or the research outcomes.
Dr. Rigg is currently a professor of geography at the University of Bristol in the UK, who reflects on his own experiences working on matters of agrarian change in mainland Southeast Asia – and beyond – since the early 1980s, having started in Northeast Thailand and then branched out to other regions of Thailand, Laos and Vietnam.
