早期关于局内人/局外人地位的讨论假设研究人员主要是局内人或局外人，每种地位都有一定的利弊。最近的讨论揭示了这两种地位固有的复杂性，并承认这两种立场之间的边界并不都是那么清楚地划定的。四个案例研究--一名黑人女性采访其他黑人女性、在美国的亚裔研究生采访来自美国的人、一名非洲教授向非洲女商人学习、以及一个在非西方文化中研究老龄化的跨文化团队--被用作数据库，以探索在文化内部和跨文化间进行研究的复杂性。位置性、权力性和表征性被证明是探索内部/外部动态的有用概念。
Early discussions of insider/outsider status assumed that the researcher was predominately an insider or an outsider and that each status carried with it certain advantages and disadvantages. More recent discussions have unveiled the complexity inherent in either status and have acknowledged that the boundaries between the two positions are not all that clearly delineated. Four case studies - a Black woman interviewing other Black women, Asian graduate students in the US interviewing people from ‘back home’, an African professor learning from African businesswomen, and a cross-cultural team studying aging in a nonWestern culture - are used as the data base to explore the complexities of researching within and across cultures. Positionality, power, and representation proved to be useful concepts for exploring insider/outsider dynamics.
