Abstract

SummaryThis creative nonfiction essay is both a reflection about a complex intimate relationship that developed during doctoral fieldwork and a commentary on what anthropologists are socialized to compartmentalize, silence, and refuse for the sake of academic credibility. Grounded in the author’s personal experience of having an affair in the field, it explains that pursing a course of action that the author was trained and socialized to eschew had the unexpected outcome of advancing the author’s anthropological research.
