ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the author reflects a little on the process of the research, including her personal motivations, inspiration and experience of ethnographic fieldwork, as well as how she arrives at the research topic. An ethics of accountability can also be applied more broadly to ethnography as a political intervention. The author examines some of the methods used in the research, before ending on a reflection on the fieldwork process, including the positionality, limitations and vulnerabilities in the ethnographic encounter. She undertook a one-month 'exploratory' trip to Morocco in June 2011, her first time in the country, in the view of finding out if undertaking research there would be feasible. Therefore, bearing in mind the varieties of different expectations of herself and her research from potential informants, she clears about the research process and what she was doing in order to make sure that she had gained informed consent.
