Situating the Authors
Rachel Chong
Situating the self (Wilson, 2008) is a practice many Indigenous scholars participate in. Situating the self is an act of humility and respect. By situating yourself you respectfully acknowledge those who have come before you. By situating yourself within a work, you also humble yourself, by acknowledging your perspective as one of many. We will discuss this in more detail later, but situating the self is one component for accessing credibility within an Indigenous context.
