Beskrivelse
Researchers frequently experience sexualized interactions, sexual objectification, andharassmentas they conduct fieldwork.These experiences are often left out of ethnographers' ';tales from the field' and remain unaddressed within qualitativeliterature.Harassedargues that the androcentric, racist, and colonialist epistemological foundations of ethnographicmethodology contribute to the silence surrounding sexualharassmentand other forms of violence. Rebecca Hanson and Patricia Richards challenge readers to recognizehow these attitudes put researchers at risk, further the solitude experienced by researchers,lead others to question the validity of their work, and, inturn, negatively impact the construction of ethnographic knowledge. To improve methodological training, data collection,and knowledge produced by all researchers,Harassedadvocates for an embodied approach to ethnography that reflexively engages with theways in which researchers' bodies shape the knowledge they produce. By challenging these assumptions, the authors offer an opportunity for researchers, advisors, and educators to consider the multiple ways in which good ethnographic research can be conducted. Beyond challenging current methodological training and mentorship, Harassed opens discussions about sexual harassment and violence in the social sciences in general.
