The insider/outsider dichotomy has been debated extensively, arguing for a more nuanced way of thinking about positionality. In this review article, membership roles of those with insider status will be expanded upon to include the ethical and methodological challenges and dilemmas faced by development researchers from the global South. This article argues for more critical thinking about difference or 'sub-identities' that grant the insider status. The discussion highlights experiences of researchers from the global South engaging with difference, shifting identities and expectations. This article concludes with some reflections on the limits of positionality and a need for more situated reflexivity
