DESCRIPTION:As with any creative process\, conducting a study is often a m
 ixture of\nstages of excitement and frustration. Although gathering a rich
  set of\nresearch data brings forth multiple possibilities\, it often lead
 s the\nresearcher to wonder how to distance oneself from self-evident\npre
 sumptions in order to reach an accurate understanding of the\nphenomenon u
 nder study – whilst acknowledging that the\nresearcher’s understanding
  is always incomplete and interpretive. In\naddition\, a research project 
 is expected to generate precise and wellargued\nreports\, while the journe
 y of conducting an inquiry is most\noften anything but simple or straightf
 orward. Reflecting on her own\ndoctoral study of ‘digital musicians’\,
  Dr. Heidi Partti will discuss\nquestions related to academic writing as a
  learning process\, reflexivity\nabout one’s subjectivity\, and the requ
 irement of trustworthiness within\na qualitative research process.\n\nBio:
