'Reciprocal' ethnography: No one said it was easy

Here, Lawless seeks to explain in more detail her use of the term "reciproc al ethnography" and to address possible misinterpretations of it. She sugge sts the potential usefulness of such a concept and also proposes "a modifie d approach through which Pat Mullen and Jesse Truvillion can, in future wor k, move more deeply into the issues of ethics, responsibility, narrative co nstructions, truth, and meaning." By asking a series of specific questions, she challenges the two men to probe further some of the issues that emerge from their writings.
