DESCRIPTION:“But how do you position yourself in your research?”: Gendering
  the politics of positionality in Geography.\n	Prof. Yvonne Te Ruki-Rangi-O
 -Tangaroa Underhill-Sem\n	Development Studies and New Zealand Institute for
  Pacific Research\n	University of Auckland\n\nThe concept of positionality 
 is deeply embedded in feminist geography\, in geographies of indigeneity\,
  and in development geography. It has provided for the close scrutiny of t
 he long history of knowledge being created by “all-knowing\, all-seeing\, 
 disembodied researchers”. So\, why is there are need to still be asking th
 e question of positionality in 2018? By understanding positionality\, it i
 s possible to see how the world comes to be understood and known from diff
 erent social locations. This is not a problem except that more work is nee
 ded to ensure a diversity of positions – at present the positions are too 
 narrow. And this is not an innocent narrowing\, I argue that it is part of
  a particular gendering of the politics of positionality. As a scholar of 
 Pacific heritage\, development is my context and indigeneity is my compass
 . Working with the concept of positionality\, and associated concepts of i
 ntersectionality\, assemblage and embodiment\, I seek to explain the gende
 ring of diverse spaces of development geographies in the Pacific. In the p
 rocess I traverse issues including climate change\, labour mobility\, and 
 gender inequality.\n
