Researching Men and Women: Field Experience of a Female Researcher

Abstract

This article focuses on the experience of a female researcher, researching on both men and women in Bangladeshi society. It has been well documented in academic literature that in qualitative research data collection is a joint effort between the researcher and the research participants and hence, the role of a researcher is of critical importance. This article argues that the subject position of a researcher can both be facilitating and constraining in various ways. This article, however, also demonstratesthat the differences on the basis of gender, class, power and education between the researcher and research participants posemany challenges and ethical dilemmas. Again these challenges and dilemmas help researchers to develop useful strategies to resolve these issues.
