Abstract: Abstract In the chapter I reflect on ten months of research in Yogyakarta, Indonesia undertaken in the company of an 8/9-year-old boy as a single mother. By unpacking the shared journey, how it felt and what we had to consider, I place this social adventure and professional challenge within a feminist assessment of academic, family and parenthood institutions. I highlight the epistemic gains when recognising myself as both mother and academic. Engaging with the growing literature on fieldwork accompanied by children, I focus on the dimensions that construct the field as a parent and researcher showing what I learnt because I was accompanied by a child as part of feminist intellectual and emotional enquiry.
