ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Positionality statement

A positionality statement is like a description of where someone is standing and how that affects their viewpoint. Imagine you and your friend are standing in a big field, and you see a tree in front of you. But your friend is standing behind you, so they might not see the tree as clearly or from the same angle. Your positionality statement would explain where you are standing and how it affects your perspective on things. It helps people understand where you are coming from and why you might have certain beliefs or opinions. It's like telling everyone the view you have from where you're standing.
