ABSTRACT
This text gives an insight into the struggles of an interdisciplinary research project situated in-between railway engineering and feminist science and technology studies. The experiences of the author, situated in both disciplines, guide the reader through the interwoven fabric resulting from working in an interdisciplinary way, analysing the origins and characteristics of the two disciplines, as well as the personal journey of the author and the shapes of their struggles throughout it. Furthermore, the text elaborates on how care as a concept is reflected in railway engineering. The notion of the author being drawn to the in-between and the described consequences shows how harsh interdisciplinary work can be. The author also describes in general terms how Karen Barad’s theory of agential realism provides a methodological framework helping him to research in the in-between.
