DESCRIPTION:'Knowledge is not for knowing: knowledge is for cutting' (Fouc
 ault\, 1984). The paper provides a space for reflection on the questions o
 f ethics and truth-telling in two studies recently conducted in Kazakhstan
 . The first study with the focus on student transition is a part of an ong
 oing collaborative programme of work between Faculty of Education\, Univer
 sity of Cambridge\, UK\, and Graduate School of Education\, Nazarbayev Uni
 versity\, Kazakhstan. The second study with the focus on urban inequalitie
 s in Kazakhstan was conducted by the research team based at KIMEP Universi
 ty\, Kazakhstan. In both cases collaborative nature of research has expose
 d tensions between different understanding of the format\, ambition and ti
 ming of the research as these are interpreted by the local and internation
 al researchers. This paper presents perspectives of the two female researc
 hers who in the process of negotiating the cultural schemas and hierarchie
 s of the Western and Kazakh academe\, re-discover their own identities\, w
 hich are at once ‘local’ and ‘Western’\, an ‘insider’ and an 
 ‘outsider’\, which is a reflection of the author’s diverse cultural 
 background and pathways into research.
