What is this about?
Professor Esser conducted a long study of Ethiopian immigrant women. It took her a long time to earn the trust of her participants and some of her notes are in Amharic. After she publishes her results, another researcher requests access to her notes. The case study asks whether Professor Esser should share the notes and how her relationship to the research subjects and the language in which the notes were written should influence her decision.
