ABSTRACT
This chapter illustrates in close detail precisely the sorts of processes and considerations involved in multisited ethnographic research with families and students in contemporary multilingual, transnational educational contexts, especially when the researcher and her children, themselves, also become participants in the study. It presents a thematic narrative of some of the most salient issues that Klara Abdi and Patsy have faced in getting this project off the ground during the first three phases of the study. Ethnographic fieldwork is an approach to scholarly inquiry that can pose challenges for researchers and their university's research ethics board and other stakeholders or sponsors of research. Behavioural Research Ethics Board (BREB) still expect that researchers will amend applications whenever a change in design or recruitment occurs and require an audit trail of these through dated versions of forms and archives of all consent forms and data in a secured space in the supervisor's university office for at least 5 years.
