“…Although I was perceived as an outsider, my traditional Bangladeshi attire and ability to speak in Bengali made it easy for my participants to engage in conversation with me. Also, identifying myself as too similar to my research participants could have created the problem of 'over rapport' (Perriton, 2000). There are no expectations of the researcher and the researched to be a homogenous group (Rubin and Rubin, 2011).…”

In many Muslim communities across South Asia, children and adolescents access education through religious institutions such as madrassa. When analysing the impact of madrassa on gender equity and empowerment, many scholars downplay feminist criticism of these institutions on the basis that even non-religious schools promote traditional gender roles in the global south. Some research on Bangladesh explains that ‘modernised’ or government-recognised madrassa, where students learn secular academic topics in addition to Arabic and Quranic verses, help boost female educational attainment in conservative communities. In addition, scholars often resist criticism of madrassa and other local practices such as early marriage in the name of understanding non-Western norms and ideals. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in remote villages of northern Bangladesh, this paper analyses the impact of religious schooling on young women’s everyday lives and perspectives through the experiences of young brides who are married to labour migrant men. Some of these brides have attended secular school while others have attended traditional madrassa, and I attempt to understand how their educational backgrounds have informed their views on marriage and gender roles. In this article, I contest the claim that religious schooling and early marriage can facilitate rural women’s agency. I argue that advocating for modernised madrassa is problematic, unless the conflicting impacts of unrecognised/traditional madrassa on women’s agency are acknowledged.

“…It would, however, be unfair to portray my research supervisors as the serpents that persuaded me to sin as they also cautioned me and referred me to articles that identified some of the difficulties that might lie ahead (e.g. Perriton, 2000). They might nevertheless be regard as complicit, as Eve was (and indeed I may be by writing this article), of having sampled the forbidden fruits for themselves and then encouraging others to do the same.…”

This article draws parallels between my experience of undertaking insider research and the original sin the biblical Adam and Eve committed when they ate the forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge. I examine my motivation for undertaking research and consider how my focus shifted from my original research questions onto me and my role as both a senior executive and a researcher. I discuss my experience of the need to discover and develop my own interpretation distinct from the orthodoxy of the organization. I identify the influences that caused me to embrace the inherent conflict of being both an insider and a researcher and the consequences that ensued. Although ultimately I found I could not resolve this conflict, I have few regrets and I hope my article will do more to encourage others, rather than deter them from making a similar commitment to undertake insider research in their own organizations.

“…Yet the topic of friendship in research has focused almost entirely on the relationship between the researcher and the researched -be that a friendship that is a) there from the start (see, for example, Owton & Allen-Collinson (2014) or Brewis 2014 (see, for example, Perriton (2000)). Whichever the way, the researcher takes on a dual role of researcher and friend.…”

Friendship as method: reflections on a new approach to understanding student experiences in higher education

This paper reflects on a novel method to elicit understanding of students' journeys through university study. At a time when universities need to know much more about how students live out their time at university, sector knowledge about real student experiences runs the risk of being limited and rather shallow. Knowledge tends to rely on broad-brush descriptions of student life derived from surveys, questionnaires, and student voice committees and whilst conventional qualitative research into student experience allows for greater depth of understanding, methods such as interviews and focus groups still have their limitations. 'Harder listening' to student voices offers the opportunity to understand everyday student life better and signals that these experiences really matter. Taking inspiration from StoryCorps in the USA and BBC Radio 4's The Listening Project, student friendship pairs are invited to undertake recorded, private, guided conversations without a researcher present. 'Friendship research' tends to focus on the dynamics between researcher and participant and there is a gap in higher education research of using 'friendship trust' amongst students to unlock experiences. Ten pairs of students based at a large university in the north of the England participated. Analysis of the conversations suggests that happiness, confidence and a sense of belonging at university are significantly affected by the role and presence of friends and family. Through their enthusiastic engagement with and reflection on this method, students also reveal familiarity with being 'under-heard' and over-surveyed and welcome this approach as a sign of a caring and 'listening university'.
