ABSTRACT
This chapter contains an autoethnographic analysis of my postdoctoral experiences to describe and explain the fluid processes needed to see my project through to completion. Lockdown restrictions forced my proposed participants, Bachelor of Education final year students, to work online. Alongside this, the university’s ethics committee was unable to grant consent for a researcher to visit schools to interview teachers. These events led to modifications to the participant sample, the proposed recruitment process, and the research tool. There was a sense of starting again in terms of researching the role of social media for recruitment and developing an online survey for data collection. Advertising a research study to an unknown and vast cohort of teachers was impossible and I asked friends and colleagues to share my recruitment poster. It was pleasing that 13 teachers from Canada and England participated, the online survey responses were substantiated by five follow up interviews.
