In this paper I will focus on gender identity and gender relations as a primary topic to analyse the place we built in the fieldwork. Assuming that we reject the idea that any research can be value neutral, as the researcher culturally construct ways of doing and giving meaning in different contexts, gives us the possibility of being aware of structures of epistemic authority.Following some feminist approaches that consider knowledge and knower are situated, I assume that gender identity situates knower and help us in the discussion of the power relation between the researcher and as well as the researched.The exercise is to place ourselves self within the research process, considering that the ethnographer has multiple identities, and that ethnography lies in a set of different systems of meaning.Methodology or methods I will consider the fieldwork experience in different ethnographic studies placed in both school and professional contexts.Conclusions or expected outcomes or findings In this paper I expect to discuss the "over-tired" gender-neutral-paradigm, trying to acknowledge how the fieldworker gender identity affects both the fieldwork relationships and the production of ethnography and ethnographic knowledge.
