This paper engages with “researcher reflexivity” in terms of a set of discourse analytical imperatives which derive from the work of Pierre Bourdieu and as a set of epistemological implications which follow from my ethnographic-interventionist engagement with a specific field of (institutionalized) practice (broadly, child protection in Flanders). The focus of the paper is on a reflexive discourse analysis of two data events (qualitative interviews with a lone parent who had/has an adolescent in public care). My key claim is that a reflexive discourse analysis which succeeds in revealing the role of social class as an interpretative filter on data events and their histories, can result in a deepened research design which also sets a specific agenda for relevant social-theoretical understandings of Late Modernity (I engage with Bourdieu, Bernstein and Giddens)
