以研究人员的主观性是数据和解释的资源这一观点为出发点,我写了我自己将母亲和有偿工作结合起来的经历,对第一次做母亲进行了心理社会研究。我反思了从事田野调查和接触关于母亲的不同文本时所涉及的情感工作,当研究主题接近一个人的生活时。然后,我将这篇文章及其唤起的感受与研究项目中的一个案例研究结合起来,以探索研究人员如何在与他人和文本的研究遭遇中注意到自己,从而使反射性自我可见。我使用的数据来自一个名为“成为孟加拉国人、非洲裔加勒比人和白人母亲:身份认同过程”的项目,该项目是经济和社会研究理事会身份认同和社会行动方案的一部分。
Taking as a starting point the idea that a researcher's subjectivity is data and a resource for interpretation, I write about my own experience of combining motherhood and paid work, undertaking a psychosocial study of first time motherhood. I reflect on the emotional work involved in undertaking fieldwork and engaging with different texts about the maternal, when the research topic is close to the stuff of one's life. I then set this writing and the feelings it evokes alongside a case study from the research project, in order to explore how a researcher can notice herself, in research encounters with others, and with texts, in ways which make the reflexive self visible. The data I use are drawn from a project entitled Becoming Bangladeshi, African Caribbean and White mothers: identities in process, part of the Economic and Social Research Council's Identities and Social Action programme.
