Abstract

This presentation was delivered at the work-in-progress meeting of the Cambridge Educational Dialogue Research Group on May 2, 2023. It focused on ongoing research for my PhD thesis which employed an interpretative phenomenological framework and creative methods to investigate the gender identity of justice-involved adolescent girls in the context of education within out-of-home placements. The session featured insights gained from recent fieldwork and data collection expeditions. It was designed to offer an informed perspective and critical reflections. During the presentation, the hauntological approach in research was introduced to provide a deeper understanding of the ethical and practical implications of redirecting research focus mid-way through fieldwork. This was illustrated with relevant examples to enhance the audience's comprehension of the complexities involved in qualitative research and the importance of ethical considerations in research design.
