Abstract

This contribution offers insights into the struggles on (un)learning the researcher-researched binary, whiteness, and white femininity during fieldwork in Tanzania. By critically reflecting on the limits of her own position and the inability to beat some stereotypes that stand on the way to building genuine relationships, the author discusses what she found useful in her journey of attempting to tune her cognitive and behavioural reactions, writes Idil Ires.
