The dynamics of social science research assumes and expects that researchers have no emotional connection to the people or events they research. Yet is that humanly possible? Following feminist traditions of making the personal political, Vulnerable Witness places the researcher at the center and challenges readers to reflect on how grief and grieving is part of the research process and, by extension, is a political act. Through twenty original case studies the book theorizes the role of grief in the doing of research--from methodological choices, fieldwork and analysis, engagement with individuals and places of study, and the manner in which scholars write and talk about their subjects. Combining personal reflections from early career scholars, advocates, and senior faculty, the book shares a breadth of emotional engagement at various career stages and probes the fallout from being enmeshed with ones own research.
