Doing Research of/from/at Home: Fieldwork Research Ethics in Latinx Contexts

This essay explores the idea, construction, and performance of campo/field. Specifically, it challenges narrow, colonial, Western, imperialistic approaches that imagined campo/field as a remote area, removed from civilization and inhabited by Indigenous others. Contrary to this, and inspired by decolonial and anti-oppressive research methodologies, this essay provides alternative conceptualizations and ways of beingdoingseeing the campo/field. In addition, it provides a brief overview of works conducted by and of Latinx communities, and how scholars have presented different ways of engaging, documenting, and imagining Latinx cultural contexts.
