Abstract
We respond to two rejoinders to our review article 'Science for Success,' which proposed fuller contextualization of epistemological approach, researcher position and interests in conservation research. This way readers'including reviewers and journal editors'can better understand and interpret findings. We suggest this contextualization is particularly important when conservation and development professionals undertake research about programs they are involved in, as this can potentially create a conflict of interest. Both rejoinders follow an extended process of complaint about our article that included academic and legal threats, and ad hominem attacks, with little engagement with the points made about researcher positionality. We consider this to be a form of 'discursive violence' deployed to silence unfavorable perspectives, confirming our argument that positionality in conservation (research) begs self-reflection and transparent disclosure. |
