Reflections & analysis

The analytical autoethnographic approach of the Research Group necessitated extensive and regular periods of individual and joint reflection. In addition to regular meetings for the Association and working groups, we met once a week to reflect about our work and contributions for Fargemarka, and current dynamics in the group as a whole. Our reflections also considered the impact of the Research Group on the Association, the impact of the Association on the Research Group, and how parallels could be drawn between our experiences and wider academic theory. To bring the voices of the members into our analysis we issued an anonymous questionnaire. This chapter begins with a joint reflection on the effectiveness of the Association, followed by individual reflections of our role and ends with a presentation of some of the outcomes of the questionnaire.
