“…Choosing to talk with young men within a high school environment was not without its challenges, and as such, my experiences share similarities to what other women scholars have faced when gathering data from "male-dominated settings" (Orrico, 2014, p. 473; see also Allain, 2014;Allen, 2005;Arbeit et al, 2017;Bott, 2010;Gailey & Prohaska, 2011;Grenz, 2005;Harries, 2016;Hutchinson et al, 2002;Pini, 2005;Presser, 2005;Skelton, 1998;Soyer, 2014).…”

“…There is now a well-established body of scholarship documenting women researchers' experiences of interviewing and conducting ethnographic research with men (see Allain, 2014;Allen, 2005;Arbeit, Hershberg, Johnson, Lerner, & Lerner, 2017;Bott, 2010;Gailey & Prohaska, 2011;Grenz, 2005;Harries, 2016;Hutchinson, Marsiglio, & Cohan, 2002;Orrico, 2014;Pini, 2005;Presser, 2005;Skelton, 1998;Soyer, 2014). This body of work speaks predominantly to the challenges women face when entering a male-dominated setting and the problems that arise that need managing as a result.…”

“…I was particularly fixated on making sure that my conduct (how I talked with the young men and my dress) was appropriate. At some reflexive level, I was apprehensive of being seen as a relatively young female wanting to talk with younger men about (hetero)romance (see Allain, 2014). One way that I endeavored to de-gender myself was by dressing very conservatively with minimal skin showing.…”

“…He could have been feeling out of depth too: here he was, in a group situation with a relatively young woman researcher talking about a potentially sensitive topic in front of his peers. As Gailey and Prohaska (2011) suggest, this type of sexualized talk is often intended to make women researchers feel awkward and uncomfortable, in turn enabling the power balance to be shifted back to the male participant (see also Allain, 2014;Schwalbe & Wolkomir, 2001).…”

A Feminist and “Outsider” in the Field: Negotiating the Challenges of Researching Young Men

For a number of years, women scholars have documented the difficulties faced when conducting research with male participants. This article contributes to this scholarship by reflecting on fieldwork I conducted with young men from a rural high school in Aotearoa/New Zealand. While the primary aim of this project was to collect moments of young men's talk that spoke to their understandings of gendered norms within (hetero)romantic relationships, I also ended up gathering other data in the form of how they interacted with me and each other during our discussions. What resulted were a range of challenges that appeared connected to my "outsider" status. This article exposes these challenges and offers my reflections on why they occurred, how I managed them at the time, and what I learnt in the process.

“…Gendered aspects of the interview dynamic were considered, since the process whereby women interview men (as in this case) can present complex challenges (Allain, 2014). Pini (2005), however, noted that social attributes other than gender can affect the nature of the research relationship.…”

‘It’s the most important thing – I mean, the schooling’: father involvement in the education of children with autism

Father involvement in education has been shown to result in a range of positive outcomes for typically developing children. However, the nature of paternal involvement in the education of children with disabilities and especially autism has been under-researched and is little understood. This study aimed to explore the nature of the involvement of 25 UK fathers in the education and their children with autism, aged up to 19 years through the use of semi-structured interviews. Findings showed that fathers were highly engaged both directly and indirectly across several dimensions of their children's education and schooling.Key areas of indirect engagement were involvement in administrative processes necessary for securing an appropriate educational placement; facilitating daily access to school and general support of children's progress through attendance at school-based meetings and events. Direct support for learning occurred through homework assistance and working on school-related goals. Findings are discussed in relation to diversity and generative models of fatherhood.Implications for greater father inclusion in the education of children with autism are explored with reference to a gender-differentiated approach.
