also based on its perceivedrelevance toward my research topic, as previously discussed. If I’m working on non-disability-related projects, I feel it less salient and relevant to my research and will not disclose. However,in my current research area of exploring identity formation in undergraduate civil engineeringstudents who experience disability, I often feel the need to disclose my disability, particularly asa way to justify my interactions with participants and key themes that I pull from my data. While the decision to disclose may sound straightforward and steadfast, it can be quitecomplex, confusing, and risky. Not only is positionality a statement to orient the reader towardyour research lens, but it also identifies an identity
