\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Abstract:\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Purpose: <\/span><\/b>The purpose of this paper is to highlight the complex and dynamic emotional journey for the returning home ethnographer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Design\/methodology\/approach: <\/span><\/b>In this paper, I reflect\u00a0<\/b>on my experiences of conducting a multimethod home\u00a0ethnography\u00a0undertaken between 2014 and 2018 in Northern Ireland which explored the emotional legacy of the Northern Ireland conflict, euphemistically referred to as \u2018The Troubles\u2019. Throughout the process, I maintained textual and digital reflective journals to record my observations, thoughts and feelings. In reviewing these journals, I identified that they traced my evolving emotions as they related to my perceptions of home and homelessness. These journals have formed the basis of this paper.<\/span><\/p>\n

Findings: <\/span><\/b>In the paper, I give insights\u00a0<\/b>into the complex and evolving emotions I experienced throughout my home\u00a0ethnography. In the early stages of my research, I explore the romanticism I experienced as I desperately tried to reconnect with my home. I then reflect on the ambivalent emotions I developed towards Northern Ireland as I spent more time there, simultaneously experiencing feelings of frustration and sometimes fear intertwined with a strong desire to fit in and belong there. Finally, I came to experience the bittersweet emotion, nostalgia, realising that one can never truly go home again because of the irreversibility of time. \u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Originality \/ Value: <\/span><\/b>By sharing my story, I aim to contribution to the literature on home\u00a0ethnography\u00a0by providing new insights into the complex and evolving range of emotions encountered throughout the different stages of home\u00a0ethnography. Additionally I aim to contribute to the problematization of Alvesson\u2019s (2009) definition of home\u00a0ethnography\u00a0by exploring the insider \/ outsider dichotomy for a returning ethnographer positioned within a deeply sectarian and segregated society. Finaly, I provide insights into the long-term emotional impact of forced displacement due to the Northern Ireland conflict.<\/span><\/p>\n
