(2018) Power, culture and situated research methodology, Dordrecht, Springer.
We start our venture by introducing the tree phases of the research process and the different ways in which they invoke our situatedness in the pre-field-, in-field- and post-field phase. Inspired by feminist objections to value-free research, we ground our understanding of situatedness in Sandra Harding's concept 'strong objectivity". This concept opts for transparency through the researcher's context awareness, as well as the researchers situated self-awareness throughout the three phases of the research process. To further our aim of doing situated research, we argue that the Gestalt traditions concepts, and phenomenological understanding of human beings as fundamentally relational, may provide us with valuable tools in order to do situated research in practice, complementary to techniques accounted for in manuals on qualitative research methods.
