Ethnography and staying in your own nest

Deborah Roberts. Nurse Res. 2007.

Abstract

In a 2004 paper, Martin Johnson suggested that 'too many of us study our own students for reasons that can only be explained by excessive convenience'. Here, Deborah Roberts argues that studying a group of students known to the researcher is anything but convenient. Rather, it requires careful consideration and skill. She makes a case for more researchers to study their own students.
