In the context of ?doing research? ?in the field?(/wild) and ?writing/producing a research report? in the ?Caring. Enactments of Hetereogeneous Relationships? annual project, we would like to look at different methods of research used in fieldwork and writing. Through inviting guests to share their working processes with us, we will ask how these methods relate to what is observed, how they construct the entities produced and determine what we can know.
