Orientation: South African management studies do not have a strong tradition of qualitative, critical and reflexive research. We explore how this may occur through a reflection on researcher identity. Research purpose: To critically reflect on the focussed dialogue and reflection between the authors and to demonstrate how duoethnography can challenge management scholars to become more reflective of their scholarship. Motivation for the study: To show how duoethnography can be applied in management studies scholarship as a methodological approach. Research approach/design and method: A duoethnographic approach is used. This is a collaborative form of autoethnography between two researchers. The researchers themselves become the participants of the study. The dialogue between the researchers is reflective of shared, sometimes conflictual experiences on a focussed topic or research question. We reflect on the ways our dialogues influence Lisa’s reflection of her own identity when conducting qualitative doctoral research with a feminist lens. Her identity is also influenced through some of the narrative texts of the women she interviewed during her fieldwork. Main findings: The account concludes that duoethnography challenges the positivist position that researcher identity is objective from the participants we research. We show that gender, race and epistemic assumptions are not simply quantitative variables. Practical/managerial implications: The practical implication of the study is to encourage management scholars to engage in duoethnographic collaborations as a means to facilitate critical reflection on current and past work. Contribution/value-add: The study provides an original duoethnographic account that is an uncommon reflective practice in a management research context.

应用人种志技术在管理研究中定位研究人员身份

方向：南非管理研究没有定性，批判性和反思性研究的悠久传统。我们通过反思研究人员的身份来探索这种情况的发生方式。研究目的：批判性地反思作者之间的重点对话和反思，并证明十二种人种志如何挑战管理学者，使其对自己的学术表现出更多的反思。研究动机：展示如何将人种志方法作为管理方法应用于管理研究奖学金。研究方法/设计和方法：使用十二指肠法。这是两位研究人员之间的一种民族志合作形式。研究人员自己成为了研究的参与者。研究人员之间的对话反映了共享，有时在主题或研究问题上发生冲突的经历。当我们以女权主义的眼光进行定性博士研究时，我们会思考对话如何影响丽莎对自己身份的反思。她的身份还受到她在野外工作期间采访的女性的一些叙述性文字的影响。主要发现：该报告得出结论，十二种民族志挑战实证主义者的立场，即研究者身份是我们研究参与者的客观目标。我们证明性别，种族和认知假设不只是数量变量。实际/管理上的意义：该研究的实际意义是鼓励管理学者开展双重人种学合作，以促进对当前和过去工作的批判性反思。贡献/增值：
