Being a Parent in the Field – Implications and Challenges of Accompanied Fieldwork

»Ein zentraler Wert der Publikation liegt darin, die Konzeptualisierung von eigenen Kindern (im Feld) als Störungen infrage zu stellen, welche auf einer konzeptuellen Trennung von privaten (traditionell weiblich konnotierten) und öffentlichen, beruflichen (›männlichen‹) Sphären gründet.« Alexandra Hammer, Bayerisches Jahrbuch für Volkskunde, 20.08.2021 »›Being a Parent in the Field‹ offers an important reminder and therefore, is a welcomed contribution to the methodological and epistemological discussions around the making of ethnography, one that should be read in ethnographic methods courses.« Konstanze N'Guessan, https://allegralaboratory.net, 17.07.2021 »The edited volume is an interesting reading for anyone interested in ethnographic research methodology. It is particularly useful for anyone planning to conduct accompanied fieldwork. Since the book is particularly clearly written, it can be recommended not only to researchers but also to students.« Mari Korpela, Anthropos, 116 (2021) »[The book] is not only a must-read for young scholars, to prepare them for potential future fieldwork scenarios, but it also contributes to the disciplines joint effort to pave the way for smoother and more flexible life and research styles.« Anna-Maria Walter (University of Oulu, Finland), Allegra Lab, 21.05.2021
