Through accounts of ethnographers' various exits from the field, this book draws attention to an overlooked but essential part of the research process, and contributes to more general discussions of ethnography.

This collection gathers a diverse range of tales from ethnographers’ experiences of leaving the field in order to generate original methodological insights about fieldwork and ‘the field’ more generally. Whilst much has been written on field access and field relations, the actual processes and practices of exiting have been relatively neglected. This book addresses that oversight.
In Leaving the field, ethnographers at different career stages reflect upon field exits that were variously ‘good’ and ‘bad’, total and incomplete, planned and unexpected. These accounts are intended to provide guidance for other fieldworkers and contribute to broader methodological discussions relating to the doing and writing of ethnography. Speaking from diverse contexts – from glassblowing and Kung Fu to community libraries and dementia – contributors consider key methodological issues such as ethical conduct and obligations to informants. Chapters examine entanglements in the field in the context of ‘perfect’ and ‘imperfect’ exits (and why we should perhaps abandon those ideals), exits that trouble the notion of ‘the field’ itself, and contexts where it is hard to imagine that ‘the field’ could ever be truly left. They consider the significance and management of intermissions from and returns to the field, whether planned or unexpected. Finally, the chapters consider the lasting effects of leaving the field and the challenges of representation and writing that begin when we do.
These creative and thought-provoking contributions shine a new light on what it really means for ethnographers to leave the field.
