- Summary:
- Joan Haig introduces her PhD research on the Hindu minority of Lusaka, Zambia. Her methodological approach involved the use of mixed methods in data collection (these included participant observation, archival work, interviews, questionnaires and photography, drawing and writing projects). In this article, she situates the ethnographer as a 'research stranger' and describes that position and some of its attendant difficulties and responsibilities. The article identifies three specific 'challenges' faced at different stages of research, from early research design and fieldwork through to analysis and writing up.
