In the academy however, these stories also function as data and are therefore grist to the analytic mill, which requires their deconstruction, a process which potentially challenges those carefully co-constructed representations. Whilst relationships are central to ethical research practices, scholars rarely acknowledge the ways in which they betray, dispossess or \u2018other\u2019 their participants during the analysis stage. Believing that it is the process that should distinguish research undertaken in pursuit of a social justice agenda, I discuss my use of a voice-relational method of analysis in an attempt to explore women\u2019s experiences \u201cin a respectful manner that legitimates women\u2019s voices as sources of knowledge\u201d<i> <\/i>(Campbell &amp; Wasco 2000: 783).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am delighted to have had my abstract entitled\u00a0&#8220;Walking the Talk: Tensions between Analysis and Advocacy in Ethical Inquiry&#8221;\u00a0accepted\u00a0for the Tenth International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry in Champaign-Urbana in May 2014.
