摘要：

This research note draws attention to the play of a researcher's identity during a summer's worth of research conducted in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. Focus is particularly directed at the position of 'academic homecomers', and the various ways in which different forms of their identity and 'insiderness' can structure research.
