England (1994) discusses the process of making geography in the context of feminist and poststructuralist challenges to objectivist social science. She emphasizes the importance of reflexivity and positionality in research, particularly in fieldwork where the researcher directly interacts with those being studied. She argues that research is inherently personal and that the researcher's position, gender, class, race, and other factors influence the research process and outcomes. England highlights the ethical dilemmas faced by researchers when engaging with marginalized groups, including the risk of appropriation and the potential for exploitation. She critiques the neopositivist approach to research, which prioritizes objectivity and detachment, and advocates for a more reflexive and inclusive methodology that acknowledges the researcher's role in shaping the research process. England also discusses the challenges of conducting research on sexual identities, particularly in the context of lesbian communities, and the ethical considerations involved in such research. She argues that researchers must be aware of their positionality and the power dynamics at play in their interactions with the researched. England concludes that reflexivity is essential for conducting ethical and meaningful research, and that researchers must be willing to confront the personal and political implications of their work. She emphasizes the importance of engaging with the researched in a dialogical manner and of recognizing the complexity of social relationships and power structures in research.England (1994) discusses the process of making geography in the context of feminist and poststructuralist challenges to objectivist social science.
