Emotions and Fieldwork

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.Kleinman, Sherryl is the author of 'Emotions and Fieldwork', published 1993 under ISBN 9780803947221 and ISBN 0803947224.
