Abstract

Almost two decades after its original publication, I revisit Bracken and Mawdsley's ‘Muddy glee’; a landmark paper concerned with the inclusion of women in fieldwork. Whilst ‘Muddy glee’ made great strides towards raising awareness of gender discrimination in field-based disciplines, I argue that greater understanding of intersectionality is needed to address the exclusion(s) that those with multiple markers of difference – including, but not limited to, gender – continue to face in academic fieldwork.
