In this article, we provide a critical reflexive tool developed to interrogate hierarchical research team structures. As members of a qualitative research team working on a large-scale federally funded project, we aim to provide guidance for scholars interested in working against established hierarchies toward more democratic team practices. Our approach is guided by critical scholarship that employs Bourdieu's conceptualization of reflexivity to move beyond individual-level positionality, toward the critical analysis of the larger academic field and intellectual bias produced through the neoliberal academic field. Though some have argued for the need to preserve hierarchy, we stand in defense of democratic teams
