Abstract
Despite best efforts at bracketing and epoche, the subjectivity of the researcher wends its way into the research process. Our research project was intended to investigate the experience of aging in the current climate of economic turbulence which followed the election of President Obama. The data took us beyond this focus and into some uncharted territory. We will share the story of what we discovered and how we moved forward when the data took control.
