Abstract

This chapter presents an autoethnography of my experiences of becoming a qualitative-oriented researcher studying processes in organizations. The chapter highlights key lessons from Qualitative Camp and my professional experiences with collecting and analysing process data using a grounded theory and narrative strategy, getting feedback on my work, and getting my work published. Conducting this autoethnography has led me to consider how lessons and experiences have influenced my course as a researcher. Three limbo situations stand out as important turning points. Limbo is in this chapter defined as an uncertain situation that I could not control and in which there was no progress or improvement for me as a researcher. Furthermore, I discuss my choices during the three limbo situations—moments of uncertainty requiring calibration—that have influenced my course of action as a researcher.
