Giving back to the community from which research has been extracted

\our researchers have been troubled by this issue ever since the beginning of the \RECOUP research programme. This is particularly because for qualitative research we have to return again and again to the same community. Some kind of relationship gets built up and the community, disadvantaged as it is compared to your relative affluence, definitely has expectations. \one of our partners has used food coupons for really poor households. \Would love to know how others have diealt with this dilemma. \has anyone tried to build it into the research budget. \how does it affect research effort in the future?--Clairen 11:40, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

suggested additions

as Clairen has mentioned above, there is much scope and need in this section to reflect on research relationships in poor communities (and indeed in all manners of social hierarchy, even in affluent communities). Perhaps a boxed reflection in the main text to encourage more dialogue on the issues involved. Are there examples from Recoup Team's journals/ field diaries that could be use for these, and other suggested 'boxed reflections'? Examples from southern researchers' work on this.
