The focus of this paper is to demonstrate how embodied subjectivities shape research experiences. Through an autoethnography of my involvement in a Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR) after-school program with low-income and working-class youth of Color from predominantly Latinx communities I examined my embodied subjectivities, via an ethical reflective practice, as these surfaced in the research context. Autoethnography is presented as a tool to facilitate an ethical reflective practice that aligns with heart-centered work. Drawing from an epistemology of a theory in the flesh (Anzaldúa & Moraga, 1981), embodied subjectivities are defined by the lived experiences felt and expressed through the body, identities, and positionalities of the researcher. The article concludes with implications for the development of community psychology competencies that attend to the researcher's embodied subjectivities.
本文的重点是展示身体主体性如何塑造研究经验。通过对我参与一个针对低收入和工人阶级有色人种青年的青少年参与式行动研究（YPAR）课后项目的自传体民族志，我通过伦理反思实践来审视自己的身体主体性，因为这些主体性在研究背景中浮现出来。自传体民族志被呈现为一种工具，以促进与以心为中心的工作相一致的伦理反思实践。从身体中的理论认识论（Anzaldúa & Moraga，1981）中汲取灵感，身体主体性是通过身体、身份和研究者的位置所感受到和表达的生活经验来定义的。本文最后提出了发展关注研究人员身体主体性的社区心理学能力的意义。
