| Summary: | Frontmatter -- Contents -- Acknowledgements -- On Being a Parent in the Field -- Rethinking the Ethnographer -- Unexpected Resonances -- Circulating Family Images -- Returning to the Field as a Mother -- Entangled Family -- Falling in and out of Sync in Upland Laos -- “We Will Go on Vacation, while You Work” -- Bringing My Wife and Children to the Field -- On Being a Father in the Field -- Whisky, Kids and Sleepless Nights -- Capturing Sounds -- Shared Field, Divided Field -- From Tightrope Walks to Entangled Families -- Authors How does being a parent in the field influence a researcher's positionality and the production of ethnographic knowledge?Based on regionally and thematically diverse cases, this collection explores methodological, theoretical, and ethical dimensions of accompanied fieldwork. The authors show how multiple familial relations and the presence of their children, partners, or other family members impact the immersion into the field and the construction of its boundaries.Female and male authors from various career stages exemplify different research conditions, financial constraints, and family-career challenges which are decisive for academic success |
