Through the looking glass: being a critical ethnographic researcher in a familiar nursing context

Heather Cudmore et al. Nurse Res. 2007.

Abstract

This article draws on the primary author's experiences of conducting a critical ethnographic study within the emergency department where she works. Extracts from her journal entries illustrate the tensions that emerged. These are theorised and discussed, resulting in a 'troubling' of the ethnographic field.
