ABSTRACT
This chapter is an unusual inclusion in a book of this sort. Whereas normally the focus would be squarely on the research itself – project, findings, implications – this book aims to do something more. This is a methodological contribution about issues in researching a phenomenon, such as intercultural competence, which is hard to describe and observe but that can be partially narrated and noted by/in oneself and others. In this phenomenon, lived experience is ‘bundled’ together with strong emotions and complex notions of identity, values, status, self, and power.
