Abstract
This presentation examines the ethical and methodological dilemmas I faced as a foreign doctoral student from a North American university doing research in my own Jamaican setting. Tensions re: Self-Location, political and ethical tensions re: Representation of Self, and tensions re: research design and reporting are explored as a means of constructing a critical understanding of such methodological and ethical dilemmas and their implications for the trustworthiness of qualitative research.
