Researchers using feminist theory in immersive qualitative research like ethnography must contend with a feminist ethics of care, where the researcher is compelled to treat their participants like people, engaging with and protecting them from potential harm (Hesse-Biber, 2012). But what happens when the act of protecting the individual conflicts with the feminist imperative to {\textquotedblleft}repair our world{\textquotedblright} (Stanley \& Wise, 2013, p. 23)? Beyond dated critiques of feminist ethnography (Stacey, 1988), there are emotional and epistemological challenges when working with ethnography and feminist theory on what Fielding (1990) calls {\textquotedblleft}unloved groups,{\textquotedblright} for example groups on the far and extreme-right. The conflict that gives rise to these difficulties is between the emancipatory and equity work essential to feminism, and the imperative to expose anti-equity rhetoric and ideology.

Using a long-term study of two men{\textquoteright}s communities on Reddit as grounding for its theorization, this chapter will explore the ethical dilemmas and decision-making when determining what content, who{\textquoteright}s name, and what details to publish in academic work on groups that have the potential to cause social (and physical) harm. It will examine the misalignments between theory and practice when researcher interest in exposing dangerous ideologies conflicts with the call to protect. What meta-ethical hurdles might we jump to justify our own practice? Using the author{\textquoteright}s experience in having to address these challenging issues, this chapter will expand the conversation between feminist ethics, ethnographic work, and academic activism, and how these can (and cannot) come together in research on the far-right.

We begin by introducing three groupings of {\textquotedblleft}surveillance{\textquotedblright} theory: panoptic surveillance (think Bentham and Foucault), post-panoptical surveillance (think Deleuze), and contemporary surveillance (Gali{\v c} et\ al., Citation2017). Panoptic surveillance is a physical surveillance (reliant on a fleshy body and physical space) where, like in Bentham{\textquoteright}s and Foucault{\textquoteright}s panopticons, the individual polices personal presentation and action under the presumption of being watched. We theorize this as surveillance on the body; it is body-to-body even as it is mediated through technology. Post-panoptical surveillance is less dependent on distinct, physical spaces, and particularly those of enclosure. We theorize this as the digital merging with the physical, where surveillance comes from the interaction of the technological with the fleshy body. Although this surveillance is less reliant on specific times and spaces{\textemdash}occurring within or through the body{\textemdash}it is nonetheless conditioned by our physical connections to technological devices. This is technology-to-body surveillance that is dependent on a physical interaction between the two. Contemporary surveillance is not dependent upon a physical linkage between technology and the body or a space of enclosure; it both marks an individual and simultaneously dissolves them into an ocean of big data. It is an inescapable surveillance as existence in the modern world. We call this technobody surveillance where the need for the interaction between technologies and fleshy bodies is subsumed by the gaseous and pervasive nature of apparatuses of surveillance. With each, we provide an exemplar from leisure practice, time, and/or space to illustrate how each operates within leisure phenomena.}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1080/01490400.2023.2197455}, author = {Cousineau, Luc S. and Kumm, Brian and Schultz, Callie} } @inbook {31419, title = {Digital Research for Social Justice}, booktitle = {Fostering Social Justice through Qualitative Inquiry: A Methodological Guide}, year = {2022}, pages = {231-250}, publisher = {Routledge}, organization = {Routledge}, edition = {2nd}, url = {https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/edit/10.4324/9781003216575/fostering-social-justice-qualitative-inquiry-corey-johnson-diana-parry}, author = {Cousineau, Luc S.}, editor = {Johnson, Corey W. and Parry, Diana C.} } @inbook {31420, title = {From $\#$Gamergate to $\#$Feminism: Gender \& Leisure}, booktitle = {Diversity \& the Recreation Profession: Organizational Perspectives}, year = {2022}, pages = {51-68}, publisher = {Sagamore-Venture}, organization = {Sagamore-Venture}, edition = {4th}, url = {https://sagamorepub.com/products/diversity-equity-and-inclusion-in-the-recreation-profession-4th-ed-1?_pos=1\&_sid=698aaa402\&_ss=r}, author = {Spencer, Callie and McKeown, Janet and Cousineau, Luc S.}, editor = {Schneider, I.E. and Kivel, B.D.} } @inbook {31421, title = {\“A Positive Identity for Men\”?

Residence hall and house employees at post-secondary institutions (resident assistants) in Canada are an important part of the social and rules-based structure which allows these facilities to operate. These employees are challenged with varied situations which require the application of mediation, authoritarian, recognition and referral skills. To date, studies have ignored the ways in which the experiences of RAs may be gender specific. This study, conducted with Canadian university residence employees, used an on-line survey of scale and open questions to establish if the experience of female resident assistants matched the available information on the resident assistant position. Survey responses indicated a distinct difference between what female resident assistants believed was expected of them, and the actual experiences they had while working within residence halls. It was also clear that some female resident assistants felt that they were treated as surrogate mothers in the residence setting. Current literature on resident assistants may not accurately reflect the resident assistant experience; the resident assistant position appears to be a gendered space in which biological sex and gender play important roles in employee experience. The training literature for RAs could be revised to prepare female students for these specific challenges.

Studies on gender and leadership to date reveal that structural, psychological, and attitudinalbarriers disadvantage women in the workplace. Women who work in outdoor recreation pro-grams also face gender stereotypes related to the perceived appropriateness of the social rolethey play, and level of physical ability; stereotypes which cause employees and co-workers alike toprefer male leaders. One area of outdoor recreation that requires further investigation is live-insummer camps, because of the more nurturant requirements of leaders in these spaces. Thispaper documents which qualities residential summer camp staff value in leaders, and hypothesizeswhether women who work in the more home-like setting of live-in camps face the same attitu-dinal and social barriers as women in other areas of outdoor recreation. Analysis yielded a distinctgender bias in favor of men, suggesting that even when a more nurturant environment is required,people still perceive men to be the most appropriate leaders. This pervasive gender bias confirmsa patriarchal understanding of leadership and the legacy of historical gender roles even in theunexamined, and more feminized, environments of live-in summer camps. It also re-confirms that,despite popular rhetoric in the West about equality and opportunity, everyone is not allowedequal opportunity to lead.
