Abstract

This manuscript focuses on our experiences of negotiating entry into two distinct research projects. The relational ethics of narrative inquiry acts as our conceptual underpinning as we inquire into the tensions we experienced as we negotiated who we were, and who we were becoming, in relation with the people we were living alongside. By reflecting on our storied experiences of negotiating entry our aim is to provide aspects that researchers can consider as they contemplate what it means to live in relationally ethical ways as we negotiate, and sustain, entry as researchers. Thinking with our experiences we share the following three considerations: (1) shifting from 'using' participants to 'becoming with,' (2) becoming wakeful to how we step into the midst of ongoing lives, both personal and social, and (3) (re)naming our commitments as researchers.

摘要

这份手稿侧重于我们谈判进入两个不同研究项目的经验。叙事探究的关系伦理作为我们的概念基础，因为我们探究了我们在协商我们是谁以及我们将成为谁时所经历的紧张局势，以及与我们生活在一起的人的关系。通过反思我们在谈判中的传奇经历，我们的目标是提供研究人员可以考虑的方面，因为他们在我们作为研究人员谈判和维持进入时考虑以关系道德的方式生活意味着什么。结合我们的经验思考，我们分享以下三个考虑因素：（1）从“使用”参与者转变为“与之相处”，（2）意识到我们如何步入正在进行的个人和社会生活中，
