Title: My Methodological Approach: “It Reminds Me of Lots of Things”
Abstract: This chapter spotlights the data, methods, sample, and issues associated with conducting an exploratory study on transnational family communication among immigrants within an ICT-based context. A critical reflexive approach highlights the issues involved in the author being an immigrant and communicating with her transnational family and what that was like in comparison to the participants. Alternative methods of data collecting and analysis are specified that clarify the perspectives of the informants and participants and their interpretations of the research, in terms of their sensory understandings. The site and participant sample are introduced and discussed in terms of their characteristics. Gender, race, social class, nationality, and language as well as other important factors that bear on the research are detailed in terms of strengths and limitations.
