Note

1. A complete-member researcher is defined as a complete member of the society being researched who has a stake in the beliefs, values and actions of other setting members. Being a member of the research group means that the autoethnographic interrogation of self and other may transform the researcher’s own beliefs, actions and sense of self. The complete-member researcher must therefore be analytically reflexive in interrogating the self and writing up his/ her findings (Anderson 2006). The idea of a complete-member researcher is not necessarily an approach I agree with, as evidenced by the discussion of being “in between” in this chapter.
