This chapter examines how the social location of student novice researchers was instrumental in shaping their research experiences, relationships, and accounts as they navigated the complexities of conducting team-based rapid ethnography research in long-term residential care. Using emotional cues in their fieldnotes as indicators of important reflexive moments, the authors focus on four thematic areas where their experiences as student novice researchers enrich the understanding of team-based rapid ethnography in care homes: incorporating reciprocity into participant-observation; being ignored or challenged by research participants in their role as student researchers; positionality, power, and rapport building; and “natural observation” and knowledge production. The authors use their exploration of the challenges they faced and lessons they learned to offer recommendations for undertaking future ethnographic studies in long-term care settings and beyond. |
