This paper explores research in the always already colonized spaces of academia with people in what is now the United States. In research projects, Wilson (2008) reminds us to begin with community relationships. Through ethnographic work, we trouble the idea of beginning research via local powerbrokers, who may privilege particular narratives and individuals. We offer reflections reconsidering power dynamics in community-based ethnographic studies suggesting ways to think about who research relationships are built with.

对谁负责？社会研究中的关系问责

本文探讨了学术界一直以来已经被殖民化的空间中与现在的美国人民进行的研究。在研究项目中，威尔逊（Wilson，2008）提醒我们从社区关系开始。通过民族志工作，我们对通过当地权力掮客开始研究的想法感到困扰，他们可能会优先考虑特定的叙述和个人。我们提供了重新考虑基于社区的民族志研究中权力动态的反思，提出了思考与谁建立研究关系的方法。
