Abstract
This reflection draws from humanizing research, a methodological stance that pursues ethical representation and interpretation in language research. Working from a pilot study to examine the impact of a community-based program for English conversation in a linguistically diverse community, analysis of three interviews between the author and contributor reveals a narrative about ethnicity, language, and belonging in the US, and illuminates the interview process as one in which the agency of the “researched” shapes what is learned.
Keywords: narrative analysis, análisis narrativo, community-based learning, qualitative research
