Through fieldwork a researcher can achieve a deep understanding of social actions, relationship and interactions. By examining fieldwork experience, its complexities and challenges, this seminar will discuss methodological and ethical questions in doing fieldwork on Japanese new religions (shinsh\u016bky\u014d). Furthermore, we will address issues related to secrecy, doubt, trust, power relation between the researcher and the researched, and role of media representation in fieldwork. In particular, we will reflect on the role gender plays in shaping fieldwork and interactions with participants. Our main question will be: does gender really matter in the field?<\/p>\n<p>\u261b Prior registration required\uff08Admission Free\uff09\u00a0Registration Form<\/p>\n<p><strong>Organizer<\/strong>: Institute for Gender Studies, Ochanomizu University<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","events_category":[124],"class_list":["post-682","events","type-events","status-publish","hentry","events_category-events-2016"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.igs.ocha.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events\/682","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.igs.ocha.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.igs.ocha.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/events"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.igs.ocha.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=682"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"events_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www2.igs.ocha.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events_category?post=682"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
