Abstract
Doing ethnography often evokes complexity, ambiguity and chaos in
thinking and practicalities. All this is part of ethnographic work. Yet,
the Covid-19 pandemic brought additional challenges in our
ethnographic research, and these affected each of us differently.
Below we present our reflections on how the Covid-19 pandemic has
affected our research, both practically and emotionally. We wish to
reclaim our situatedness and fragility as a genuine ethnographic
experience, valuing vulnerability as a feminist ethnographic
methodology (Page 2017). Please note that we wrote this text in October 2020.
