Why should researchers be interested in their feelings and emotions
as they carry out research? Emotion is what it is to exist, to be
human, and is present in every sphere of our lives. All activities
are infused with emotion, even those that are constructed as
'rational', because rationality and emotionality are
interpenetrated and entwined because all thinking is tinged with
feeling, and all feeling is tinged with thinking. This book
illuminates the emotional processes of doing social and
organizational research, and the implications of this for the
outcomes of research. With contributions from leading academics and
research practitioners, it addresses the significant issue of the
sometimes intense emotional experiences involved in doing research
and the implications it has for the theory and practice of social
research. By examining the nature of feelings and emotions, it
explores how we might understand researchers' emotions and
experiences, and considers the often powerful feelings encountered
in a variety of research contexts. Topics discussed include: power
relations; psycho-social explanations of researcher emotions;
paradoxical relations with research participants and the sometimes
disturbing data that is gained; research supervision; the politics
of research; gender; publishing, undergoing vivas and presenting at
conferences. This book will therefore be a valuable companion to
researchers and research students from the start of their career
onwards.
