Yes / In the context of offenders who have learning difficulties, autism and/or social,
emotional and mental health problems, their families, and professionals who work with them,
I explore caring and ethical research processes via fieldnotes I wrote while carrying out lifestory
interviews. Life-story interviews and recording fieldnotes within qualitative
criminological, education and sociological research have long since been used to document and
analyse communities, institutions and everyday life in the private and public spheres. They
richly tell us about specific contexts, research relationships and emotional responses to data
collection that interview transcripts alone overlook. It is in the process of recording and
reflecting upon research relationships that we can see and understand ‘care-full’ research. But
caring and ethical research works in an interdependent and relational way. Therefore, the
participant and the researcher are at times vulnerable, and recognition of such is critical in
considering meaningful and healthy research practices. However, the acknowledgment that
particular types of data collection can be messy, chaotic and emotional is necessary in
understanding caring research. / The Leverhulme Trust (RF-2016-613\8).
