| Abstract | In this chapter we share two parallel stories. Both stories speak to the operations of whiteness in academic research, specifically in research on the pregnancy-related experiences of trans/masculine and non-binary people. It is arguably the case that the two stories we share are likely endemic to a great majority of research undertaken by all-white research teams. Indeed, as we elaborate further below, it is our whiteness as a project team that is arguably central to why writing this chapter is necessary. What makes the two stories we share in this chapter further useful as an example of the operations of whiteness in academic research, however, is the relationship between whiteness and the topic matter of our research. Specifically, how our primary focus on the topic matter led to us overlooking, in many ways, the question of whiteness in the planning of the research project. |
