Abstract

In this article, the author focuses on the researcher in research. Challenged by the theory and criticism of self-indulgence, the author has, as the researcher, come out through reflection and self-scrutiny to address some of the dilemmas the research process has held for her. Dilemmas concerning interviewing women from Pakistan using interpreters have been covered previously. The dilemmas discussed in this article concern the position of the researcher and honesty, the criticism of Western dominance, and how the research process has changed the author.
