Abstract
Ethnographic and qualitative research in private homes has been an unexplored and rather unreflected field within various research disciplines. Nevertheless, it is a type of research that is conditioned by a wide range of issues and challenges, including access to the field, the role of the researcher, relationships with different family members and not least a number of ethical considerations when the site of the research is other people's private and intimate rum. Based on a number of cases, this article will shed light on these issues. In addition, it will propose guidelines that can take into account the ethical dilemmas. The authors behind the article are researchers at the Center for Playware, DTU / DPU (AU) and have experience with fieldwork within media research, childhood and children's culture research.
Outcome
The writers observation; their own role as a researcher and ethnographer in people's private spaces.
