Emotions and Fieldwork by Sherryl Kleinman, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

The place of emotions in research poses many dilemmas. Ignoring emotions can have significant costs for analysis and for competence as researchers. This volume explores the links between emotion and analysis: how the feelings of fieldworkers - about their professional identity, their work and the people they study - inform analyses. The conclusion offers an extended example from one of the authors' field studies to highlight how the emotions of the fieldworkers can enhance qualitative analyses. | Emotions and Fieldwork by Sherryl Kleinman, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
