This chapter reflects on my position in the field and addresses the problems of doing research during a global pandemic. Besides the practical process of the research and my experiences within it, the chapter also reflects on my own positionality as a western, white* researcher in the field, with certain power relations and asymmetries inherent in such research situations. While access to the field can be influenced by many aspects, “readily identifiable physical characteristics such as age, skin color, language skills, and gender may have positive, negative, or complex and variable meanings to local residents in a field situation.”
