ABSTRACT
Doing fieldwork is a circular process: The person doing the research learns about herself as well as about the people she is studying (Reinharz 1992). This chapter focuses on reflexivity-reflecting upon and critically examining the nature of the research process. This epilogue centers on my struggles to put feminist methodologies into practice. I reflect on and discuss issues of privilege and power and how my positionality was often in conflict with my ideology. Specifically, my goal in this epilogue is to offer critical perspectives on how my positionality as a white, relatively affluent (comparatively speaking), western woman researcher affected my efforts to implement feminist fieldwork practices.
