Researching the researcher: The heart and mind in sub-prime times
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to gather research-stories, that is, the stories of the researcher themselves. The authors gather stories that situate researchers in their social, political, personal and professional contexts to learn about being a researcher in a University at this particular historical moment. Design/methodology/approach – The authors’ stories began with the naive question – “What is it like to be a researcher in a Unive…
Vulnerability and Emotions in Research: Risks, Dilemmas, and Doubts
Researchers are familiar with ethics applications that endeavor to ensure the safety of their participants, but only recently have they been urged to examine the short- and long-term effects of research on themselves and consider the risks to their own safety and well-being. This article considers some of the risks to researchers of engaging in research by exploring some emotional dangers the authors encountered while engaged in their own researc…
The Scholar Retires: An Embodied Identity Journey
This article is inspired by Laurel Richardson's ongoing work as a scholar and researcher during her "retirement." Lorelei has been inspired by Laurel to imagine her retirement as still a time of productive scholarly contribution. This, despite the messages she has received, overtly and covertly, of her redundancy. Here, we follow Lorelei as she stories the disruption, conflicts, and tensions of transition from work life to retirement. Her introsp…
Troubled, troublesome, troubling mothers: The dilemma of difference in women’s personal motherhood narratives
Motherhood is under review. What counts as a ‘good mother’ is receiving attention in both popular and academic contexts (Arendell, 2000; Hays, 1996). The mothers we spoke with are judged not to be ‘good’ mothers by medical professionals, teachers, friends and family, because they do not have ‘good’ children. Their children are disorderly, disorganised and disruptive, they have ADHD. We extend current debates to explore these mothers’ ransoming to…
Troubled, troublesome, troubling mothers The dilemma of difference in women's personal motherhood narratives
How to be recognized enough to be included
This paper is part of a wider project that examines the discourses of motherhood and motherwork that enable and constrain individual women. It examines the influence of schools on mothers in making decisions to seek diagnosis and treatment for their children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Here it is found that the business of 'recognition' is pivotal to the work mothers do with and for their children. The paper draws on the…
Silenced, Silence, Silent: Motherhood in the Margins
This project explores the experiences of women who mother children with ADHD.1 The authors use the metaphor of the text and the margin. The text is the "motherhood myth" that describes a particular sort of "good" mothering. The margin is the space beyond that text. This marginal space is inhabited by some or all of the mothers they spoke with, some or all of the time, as they fail to be recognized by the text. They explore the many sorts of silen…
