ABSTRACT Ethnography as a methodological approach presents the fieldworker with many ethical crossroads throughout the research process. This is because of the unique position that ethnographers find themselves in, the environments that they research and the relationships which are formed. This paper presents four confessional vignettes from a broader ethnographic research project that illuminate the underside of fieldwork, and how the author dealt with a number of difficulties and dilemmas in the field as a working-class academic. Fieldwork was undertaken in a Welsh (UK) secondary school for one full academic year, and the paper argues that researcher identity must be remain fluid so that successful field relations are established and maintained. The paper concludes that researchers must think intersectionally about their endeavours and to also consider how one’s own social baggage might impact upon the research process.

唯一的方法就是道德：工人阶级学者的方法论考虑

摘要民族志学作为一种方法论方法，在整个研究过程中为田野工作者提供了许多道德十字路口。这是由于民族志学家所处的独特位置，他们研究的环境以及所形成的关系。本文介绍了来自更广泛的人种学研究项目的四个ess悔小品，这些插图阐明了田野调查的底蕴，以及作者如何作为工人阶级学者解决该领域的许多困难和困境。实地调查在一所威尔士（英国）中学进行了整整一学年的研究，论文认为，研究人员的身份必须保持灵活，以便建立和维持成功的实地关系。
