It incorporates photographs, drawings, and memory work to highlight the social constructedness of what counts as rural. Drawing together compelling narratives from researchers about their positionality in studying rurality, the book highlights a need for greater attention to \"where we are in the picture\" more broadly. It suggests that when it comes to the rural, researchers need to rethink the interplay of dominant images, insider and outsider perspectives, and what this interplay means in relation to interpretation. \u003cem\u003eWhere Am I in the Picture?\u003c\/em\u003e presents a new vision of how to take into consideration positionality in research.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Figures\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
