Abstract
Assumting that the proximity between researchers and the objects of their investigation would benefit froms further debate, this contribution aims to explore what can—and cannot— be expressed and manifested by the researcher in their choice of research objects, as well as in the conduct of their investigations. The goal is to describe how my research journey resonates with my personal journey and to interrogate it through the lens of reciprocal projections and identification dynamics between myself and the respondents. Furthermore, this article examines how my identities as both a mother and a researcher intersect with research methodologies and across its successive stages.
