Abstract

ABSTRACT: The opportunity to reflect on the research process and to openly discuss some of the questions arising from our practice as feminist scholars is relatively rare. In this article I outline some of the pleasures of doing qualitative research, as well as some issues that still trouble me after more than two decades of interviewing and writing about the working lives of women migrants.
