We highlight our field experiences and comment on our perceptions of how being a woman and performing our female identity has influenced our own ICT4D research. We discuss how gender tensions are further compounded by the researcher’s own physical and social characteristics, such as race, age, social class, and skin color. We apply the lens of reflexivity and performativity to examine critically and explore analytically our field experiences. We end with practical observations about our collective experience.enICT4DFemale researchersField researchInternational researchGender mattersFemale ICT4D researchersConference PresentationLight, A., Ladeira, I., Roberson, J., Bidwell, N., Rangaswamy, N., Sambasivan, N., & Gitau, S.
