This edited collection brings together a range of experiences from
the field, largely in the context of CSCW and HCI. It focuses
specifically on the experiences of people who have worked in
difficult, tense, delicate and sometimes conflictual and dangerous
settings. The tensions faced by researchers and, more importantly,
how they manage to deal with them are often under-remarked. Unlike
the bulk of published ethnographic work, the chapters in this book
deal more explicitly with the various practical problems that
researchers with varying degrees of experience face. Our aim in
this book is to give a voice to researchers who have sometimes
contended with unexpected issues and who sometimes have had to face
them on their own. We explore incidents which may entail emotional
conflict, embarrassment and shame, feelings of isolation, arguments
with other members of a team, political pressures, and ideological
confusions, to name but a few. Â Senior figures in research
laboratories and elsewhere may provide intellectual direction and
support but may not always recognise the personal and problematic
nature of qualitative enquiry undertaken by relatively
inexperienced researchers. The chapters examine feelings of
isolation, the difficulty of ‘taking sides’, the negotiation of
personal, ethical, and political pressures in the field, and
dealing with conflicting visions of what the research should be
about. The book is a resource for those embarking on the challenges
of working in unfamiliar or difficult settings and moreover should
act as a reminder to academics who might have forgotten the
practical issues that researchers can face and how they deal with
them.Â
