N conducting social science research on religion, the religious
identity of investigators (or lack of such identity) may pose
various challenges to objectivity.1 This paper is based on our
experiences, as haredi (‘ultra-Orthodox' Jewish) sociologists, in
conducting a women's health survey amongst our own community. It
discusses two particular incidents, occurring before and after datacollection,
in which our status as insiders became an issue. We discuss
how these incidents shaped our evolving views regarding the interplay
between identity, objectivity, and research ethics.
