In this special issue, which calls for a “more radical sociology of sport and physical culture,” the purpose of this paper is to address how practices of reflexivity might be mobilized among critical sport scholars toward changing the intersectional, fragmented, and complex communities we inhabit inside and outside the academy. We begin by conducting a literature review of researcher reflexivity and positionality in Sociology of Sport Journal from 2000 to 2022. Utilizing Wanda Pillow’s “reflexivities of discomfort,” we interrogate our own research by engaging in a reflexive dialogue as “critical friends.” Through this work, we try to make sense of the potential of these dialogues for shaping our ethical, political, and personal approaches to research, writing, methodology, and knowledge production.

在这个呼吁“更激进的体育和体育文化社会学”的特刊中，本文的目的是解决如何在批判体育学者中动员反思性实践，以改变我们所关注的交叉的、分散的和复杂的社区。居住在学院内外。我们首先对 2000 年至 2022 年《体育社会学》杂志上的研究人员的反思性和立场性进行文献综述。利用 Wanda Pillow 的“不适的反思性”，我们通过作为“批评的朋友”进行反思性对话来质疑我们自己的研究。通过这项工作，我们试图了解这些对话在塑造我们的研究、写作、方法论和知识生产的道德、政治和个人方法方面的潜力。
