When research hits close to home – Doing fieldwork in places and with people we care about
Export to calendarBio
In this talk I reflect on the experience of doing fieldwork in my home country, with communities I was previously engaged with through social activism.
I focus on issues of researcher ‘objectivity’, positionality, and vicarious trauma. The talk should help students think about and prepare for expected difficulties before fieldwork, or challenges faced after their return.
