Making meanings out of me: Reading researchers’ and participants’ bodies through poetry

This article offers autoethnographic reflections on the experience of qualitative research that account for the embodied subjectivity of interviewing as a research practice and the embodied practice of research outside of a traditional ‘field’. The article reflects on the ways in which the author was underprepared for the shifting power relations and shared vulnerabilities within research interactions to be experienced in an embodied way. This article then reflects on the process of experiencing research in the body during the writing-up process. The article draws on data collection experiences and fieldwork notes from a research project on trans and intersex activist relationships undertaken by a trans researcher with a history of LGBTI+ and trans activism. Furthermore, this research project was undertaken by a disabled scholar who had to negotiate a complex web of access needs and decisions over in/visibilising disabilities in order to complete the research. This early career scholar experienced a lack of research methods teaching and training on the complexities of in-community/insider research for those who may be members of communities made vulnerable by society and a lack of training on the expectations of embodied fieldwork practice. This article does not offer teaching or support suggestions to fill this gap although those are illustrated in detail by Pearce’s (2020) ‘methodology for the marginalised’. Instead, the article invites early career scholars, and those teaching research methods, to imagine research and imagine fieldwork with embodied researchers in mind. The article uses poetry to take readers on a journey of the embodied research of one trans and disabled scholar in the hopes it may speak to other scholars with a range of diverse identities and experiences who may be made vulnerable by society and those who have the privilege of teaching them. The article uses poetry as a means to express these embodied reflections drawing on Richardson’s (1999, 2002) creative analytic practice of ethnographic poetry and Anderson’s (2001) embodied writing. The poetic reflections are offered as an interruption to the body of the text with an embodied poetry to touch the reader in a different way. Although these poems deliberately interrupt the body of the text, they can be read in their locations as reflections on their closest sections or a collection of poetic reflections after reading the article.

FRIDA: A Comprehensive Colloquium Module for Field Work Practice Administration in IPB College of Vocational Studies

Field Work Practice or Internship is a systematic effort carried out by the vocational higher education providers, preparing students to assess the competencies mastered in order to achieve certain attitudes, knowledge, skills, or expertise. There are numerous administrative activities involving four parties simultaneously, which can lead to various problems. Among these issues are students submitting forms that do not comply with the provisions outlined in the Field Work Practice Handbook and students forgetting the stages they have completed during the implementation of the Field Work Practice. Additionally, the supervising lecturers and the Field Work Practice committee face challenges in tracking students’ progress due to mixed-up files. Consequently, the College of Vocational Studies of IPB requires an application that can monitor progress based on access rights and provide assessment forms and score recapitulation directly without manual recapping. The method employed for this study is the prototype method. Online access to the FRIDA App is available through the website https://fridasv.com, allowing users to access the application via a browser on a computer or handheld device connected to the internet.

On “Reliving the Past”: An Anthropologist’s Perspective

The article presents a theoretical conceptualization of the metaphor of “reliving the past” for ethnographic fieldwork use. The following three issues are elaborated: (1) how the metaphor of “reliving the past” is present in the academic literature; (2) what anthropological theories inspire the proposed use of the notion of “reliving the past”; and (3) how the use of this kind of “theory” and “method” might affect the practice of ethnographic fieldwork. The article is based on the author’s experience gathered during the realization of research on the memory of the Second World War and the post-war period in the Podhale region.

Peeking Behind the Curtains

Abstract Patchwork ethnography is a viable methodological and theoretical approach. Fieldwork can be accessible, achievable and accommodating of both personal and professional circumstances and responsibilities of the researcher, and external factors such as living within a COVID-19 world. In this article, we explain patchwork ethnography and showcase how the methodology was implemented during the first author's PhD fieldwork conducted in 2020–2021 relating to peeking behind the physical and metaphorical curtains of the death industry to understand the handling, management and conceptualisation of the dead human body in Adelaide, South Australia. We demonstrate how field sites were constructed and discuss the methodological tools utilised to produce an ethnographic experience. We also question the ongoing viability of notions of ‘traditional’ fieldwork practices.

Teaching Ethnographic Methods: The State of the Art

Ethnography is a core methodology in anthropology and other disciplines. Yet, there is currently no scholarly consensus on how to teach ethnographic methods—or even what methods belong in the ethnographic toolkit. We report on a systematic analysis of syllabi to gauge how ethnographic methods are taught in the United States. We analyze 107 methods syllabi from a nationally elicited sample of university faculty who teach ethnography. Systematic coding shows that ethics, research design, participant observation, interviewing, and analysis are central to ethnographic instruction. But many key components of ethical, quality ethnographic practice (like preparing an IRB application, reflexivity, positionality, taking field notes, accurate transcription, theme identification, and coding) are only taught rarely. We suggest that, without inclusion of such elements in its basic training, the fields that prioritize this methodology are at risk of inadvertently perpetuating uneven, erratic, and extractive fieldwork practices.

Design And Implementation of Field Work Practices (PKL) With The Work Integrated Learning (WIL) Model At Health Vocational School (SMK) in Tangerang City

This study aims to analyze, find, and prove (1) design for the implementation of field work practices (PKL) at health vocational high schools (SMK) in Tangerang City. (2) Barriers to the Field Work Practice Program and its Implementation in the World of Work for Health Vocational School Graduates in Tangerang City (3) An Effective Cooperation Model in Tangerang City's Implementation of the Health Vocational Field Work Practice Program with the World of Work This type of research is qualitative research with a phenomenological approach. This research was carried out in one of the health vocational high schools (SMK) in Tangerang City, the Nursing Expertise Program. Data collection uses in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation techniques. The results showed that (1) there is still a weak relationship between educational institutions and the business/industry world, which leads to ineffective implementation, making it difficult for street vendors like participants to get jobs that match their competencies. (2) Some of the obstacles to the Field Work Practice Program and its implementation in the World of Work for Tangerang City Health Vocational School graduates are that there are still limited places for PKL implementation and there are still some hospitals and health centers that refuse PKL participants from health vocational schools. (3) The Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) model can improve the quality of the street vendor experience and make the right career choice by working together using the core-plasma pattern, franchise pattern, general trading pattern, operational cooperation pattern, and partnership pattern.

Transit Time Estimation in Catchments: Recent Developments and Future Directions

AbstractWater transit time is now a standard measure in catchment hydrological and ecohydrological research. The last comprehensive review of transit time modeling approaches was published 15+ years ago. But since then the field has largely expanded with new data, theory and applications. Here, we review these new developments with focus on water‐age‐balance approaches and data‐based approaches. We discuss and compare methods including StorAge‐Selection functions, well/partially mixed compartments, water age tracking through spatially distributed models, direct transit time estimates from controlled experiments, young water fractions, and ensemble hydrograph separation. We unify some of the heterogeneity in the literature that has crept in with these many new approaches, in an attempt to clarify the key differences and similarities among them. Finally, we point to open questions in transit time research, including what we still need from theory, models, field work, and community practice.

Not just muddy and not always gleeful? Thinking about the physicality of fieldwork, mental health, and marginality

AbstractThis paper acknowledges that geographical fieldwork and fieldtrips can be deeply stressful, anxiety‐inducing, troubling, miserable, hard and exclusionary for many colleagues, students and pupils. Building on the critical insights of Bracken and Mawdsley's (Area, 36, 2004) ‘Muddy Glee’ we empirically extend disciplinary reflections on fieldwork, drawing on qualitative data from research with UK university‐based Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences (GEES) academics who self‐identify as having mental health conditions which substantially affect their daily lives. These data prompt reflection on the nature and experience of fieldwork in two ways. First, they require acknowledgment of fieldwork as not just ‘muddy’, widening disciplinary imaginaries of fieldwork accessibility to encompass marginalities in/of Human Geography fieldwork practice. Second, contrary to pervasive disciplinary idealisations, these data demand recognition that fieldwork and fieldtrips are not necessarily gleeful but can be sites of intense latent anxiety and intersectional marginality. They evidence how fieldwork can often be experienced as sites of anxiety, isolation, marginalisation, and often silent or hidden distress. These data are not easy to read, and we argue that they require us to widen our disciplinary senses of what fieldwork is like. In conclusion we offer some prompts for reflection to think‐with this unease.

Decision Support System For The Determination Of Field Work Practice Results In Students Using The Moora Method (Case Study : Pt. Telekomunikasi Binjai)

PT. Telekomunikasi Indonesia Binjai Branch is an information and communication company as well as a complete telecommunications service and network provider in Indonesia. Acceptance of students to carry out Field Work Practices (PKL) is one of the important goals for companies to introduce the world of telecommunications in Binjai City. Street vendors are student activities directly in professional work activities at an institution, company or institution within a certain period of time in accordance with the curriculum. And to overcome these problems we need a method that can predict the number of new installations. After carrying out the Field Work Practice (PKL) in the company, students are entitled to get the results of the activities that have been carried out during the PKL. The number of students who carry out PKL in the company makes it difficult for office employees to provide PKL results from each of the existing students. Based on the results of research that has been done at PT. Telekomunikasi Indonesia Binjai Branch, the process of assigning value to the results of street vendors activities is done manually. In this study a Decision Support System (DSS) will be built using the Multi-Objective Optimization On The Basis Of Ratio Analysis (MOORA) method which is a method that has a calculation with a minimum and very simple calculation. The system is designed with the PHP programming language and MySQL database, after processing the 15 inputted data, it is found that A15 (Wiratana Sanjaya) is in the first rank. With these results it was also concluded that A15 became a student with the best Field Work Practice results at PT. Telekomunikasi Indonesia Binjai Branch.
