Reflexivity in Ethics!
Anderson, Paul. Simple Gifts: Ethical Issues in the Conduct of Person-Based Composition Research.
"There are good reasons, I believe, for us to become more reflective about the ethical issues involved in person-based research" -(64)
"First, this type of research constitutes a substantial portion of our contemporary literature... more than half of the 71 articles that CCC published... contained some person-based material" (64).
"we ought to become much more reflective about the ethical dimension of these relationships. However, I'm unsure what our next steps should be" (83).
"A second reason... the issues involved are complex... One cause of this complexity is that our studies often rely on individuals who may be especially vulnerable to (unintentional) infringement of their rights, dignity, and privacy" (64).

Barton, Ellen. Further Contributions from the Ethical Turn in Composition/Rhetoric: Analyzing Ethics in Interaction.
Through discourse analysis Barton highlights the potential problems with research recruitment and examines the roles of an "ethic of care" vs. "a principle-based ethics," ultimately uncovering problems with both. She cites Sondra Harding's feminist principles that ask researchers "to reflexively consider research relationships, research questions, and research agendas" (597). In the end she encourages "formulating critical generalizations so that they can have an impact in research regulation" (623).
Lareau, Annette. Reflections on Longitudinal Ethnography and the Families' Reactions to Unequal Childhoods
-
Lareau seeks to help others "reflect on broader methodological issues that confront many researchers" including "relations between the researcher and research participants" and "sharing research results with research participants" (312-313).
She describes and reflects on the negative reactions of research participants and the pain involved with confronting their responses and dissatisfaction. She reflects after the fact about their specific criticisms, ultimately stating that she believes that "sharing research results has numerous drawbacks for all parties" and that "a research project is controlled by the researcher" (330) but noting that if she could do it over again, she "would explain in more detail what research entails" (331).

Schneider, Barbara. Ethical Research and Pedagogical Gaps
Schneider argues that there are a number of salient questions we should ask ourselves, particularly because often we will "reflect on classroom practice" without IRB approval or without informed consent.
This casts some critical perspective on the trend to use reflexivity in researched writing without ethical consideration.
One concrete, somewhat, recommendation is to "not treat students like objects of study"
