I struggle with the same editing habits. I wish I could write it all out and edit at the end. But, I always edit as I write and it takes more time. Your response was very real, sometimes we […]

I do believe there was more to be said about this question– I felt like there was information missing from the essay.

Maybe the author should have incorporated more of how they felt as an outsider.

The author could have included better details about the community within the essay. The work lacked significant evidence and analysis.

It might be challenging as an insider to the community to step out but I liked how you thought it would be interesting to do!

The number of conversations occurring will definitely help your research.

As humans, we are not conscious of our biases and that can greatly influence a fieldworker’s work.
