Description: "Grieving Witnesses: The Politics of Grief in the Field centers reflections on grieving as part of the research process and, by extension, as a political act of witnessing. The book theorizes the role of grief in the doing of research - in methodological choices, fieldwork and analysis, engagement with the individuals, populations, and places we study, the way scholars write and talk about their subjects, and the ethical dimensions of these encounters. Each chapter offers a grounded engagement with the act of research through narrative and autoethnographic reflections, drawing together those who study and grieve humans, animals, and the environment"--Provided by publisher.
