Secrecy and Silence in the Research Process by Roisin Ryanflood

This book explores secrecy and silence in research, situating the discussion within wider debates about gender, epistemology, methodology and ethics and drawing on the reflections of feminist scholars.

Róisín Ryan-Flood and Rosalind Gill have given us a treasure trove of intellectually powerful and unflinching analyses of the secrets and silences within the processes of researchGail Lewis' technique of focusing closely on one small moment of data collection will become a teaching classic. This chapter is not just essential for researchers; it needs to be included in the training of social workers and other public-service professionals. I found myself wishing that this kind of research culture had been available when I was a young fieldworker. Times Higher Education Supplement
