“…After each researcher completed a reflexivity exercise, they reviewed the data and began the codebook generation. The reflexivity exercise, based on the work of Evans, Nistrup, Henderson, Allen-Collinson, and Siriwardena (2018), consisted of a six-question questionnaire that each author completed before viewing any of the data we collected (Table 4). We aimed to assess each author’s knowledge of and connection to The Pause before data analysis.…”

“The Pause”: A Delphi Methodology Examining an End-of-Life Practice

“The Pause” was first practiced by a nurse at a Level 1 trauma center to honor the death of a deceased patient. This practice has spread internationally and is used in emergency departments, intensive care, transplant, and oncology units, in addition to pre-hospital settings. There is a paucity of research published on the effects of The Pause for health care workers. We used a three-staged Delphi methodology to understand the barriers, benefits, and language used in The Pause. Analyses of email communication and interview transcripts suggest that The Pause poses minimal risk and has considerable benefits. Benefits include increased perceived team cohesion, a moment for reflection, and a method by which to honor a deceased patient. The Pause allows nurses to feel more present to meet the needs of the next patient they care for during a shift. Further research is merited.

“…Frequently, such considerations are explicated through researcher reflexivity and contemplation of researcher positionality, often in relation to specific theoretical traditions and perspectives (e.g. Evans et al, 2018;Hesse-Biber & Piatelli, 2012;Matthews, 2018;McNarry et al, 2019;Phoenix & Orr, 2014;Rankin-Wright et al, 2019). It is not enough for a researcher to simply say they are reflexive; they must show how they engage in reflexive processes.…”

“…With careful consideration and conscious, concerted effort to widen our audience, we might also ensure that those voices are heard by those in a position to make a difference. In this sense, reflexivity in the research process only begins with explication of researcher assumptions and positionality; it must continue through the data collection, writing and dissemination processes (Evans et al, 2018;Hesse-Biber & Piatelli, 2012). And clearly the chances of this are higher if qualitative researchers are in a position to fulfil such work-which usually requires employment and, ideally, the freedom within employment to dedicate time to ensuring our research is impactful.…”

“…Those within the figurational tradition, including Dunning himself, had and have since discussed 'method' and 'methodology' and taken these in various directions (e.g. Maguire, 1988Maguire, , 2013Dunning, 1999;Bloyce, 2004;Kilminster, 2004;King, 2006;Mansfield, 2007;Liston, 2007;Baur and Ernst, 2011;Hughes, 2013;Smith and Waddington, 2014;Dolan and Connolly, 2015;Sinclar, 2016;Bogner and Rosenthal, 2017;Evans et al, 2018;Cock, 2019). This paper draws together several strands of this work into a general discussion of sociological craft, illustrated through our ongoing research on 'Ireland', sport and identity.…”

Eric Dunning influenced the development of curricula and research agendas in sociology, history, social science and sports studies, internationally, in the UK and in Ireland. Dunning was also doctoral supervisor to, and academic colleague/mentor and friend of, both authors (at Leicester, Dublin and Chester). Inspired by him, this paper reflects on the craft of sociological research. The case study is the struggle for recognition of 'Ireland' in international athletics and the associated painstaking ongoing archival and mixed methods research work in multiple venues, involving sporting, state and personal papers, interviews and oral history sources. Such a history of the social dynamics of charisma and shame between the so-called 'mother country' (Great Britain) and a restless dominion (Ireland) was by no means structureless or patternless, but ontologically interdependent with life today. Accordingly, we consider several themes: the interplay between theory and evidence, the involvementdetachment balance and exploring knowledge figurations. In line with Dunning (and Elias), the paper adopts an anticipatory motif, that is to say, the work of understanding social relations between the 'British' and 'Irish' 'then' and 'now' is not finished. This work is one step in carrying forth the baton -the stock of intergenerational knowledge -about doing sociology, handed to us in trust by Dunning.
