Researching Rugby in New Zealand: Reflections on writing the self and the research problem
Article Abstract:
A methodological account of Camilla Obel's study of rugby union in New Zealand and an autobiographical description of the production of the researcher is offered. It is argued that reflexivity in writing research requires both a scrutinizing of the act of producing the research problem and a 'confessional' that reveals how the researcher enter the field, her biases, and her self as a product of knowledge and social life produced by others.
