For my PhD, I am researching social/cultural constructions of the vagina, and whether, and if so how, the vagina is part of women’s identity aswomen. In this context, the vagina can be a ‘sensitive’ (see Lee and Renzetti, 1993) issue and, like Ensler (1998), I sometimes have difficulty talking about it. In this article, I explore how a critical examination of reactions to hearing and talking about my research can be used to enhance my analysis, and consider how these might impact on our ‘obligations’ as feminist researchers.
