questions about my field and research.

This is me IRL, sort of.
Some academics have 'thesis beards'. I have 'fieldwork hair'.

Over the past 18 months of fieldwork, colleagues, research informants, academics, the twittersphere, and an assortment of fleeting strangers at cafes have asked about the how and why about the what that I do. Since I've formally ended fieldwork last week (Or have I? Does fieldwork ever end? Does it?!), this seems like an appropriate time to reflect on the journey with responses to a bunch of FAQs. Welcome to my universe, sort of (I think).
