Challenges in Inclusive Research

As qualitative researchers, we have been increasingly attracted to incorporating techniques that increase the involvement of former research subjects in research projects. This attraction springs from a deepening understanding of the importance of the human relationships we create with those we study. Such increased inclusivity, however, has not proven to be easy. My experiences as director of a large collaborative ethnographic evaluation project are examined in light of the conflicting pulls I experienced between the desire to create more inclusive research and the simultaneous limits on the possibilities for certain kinds of players to be fully involved. The roles of university researcher, program administrator, teacher, and learner in two adult education programs are examined in terms of the possibilities for and limitations on inclusivity.
