      ab: This 'Intervention' reflects on how over the past few years it has taken me longer to complete the early research processes that precede empirical work. I draw on an example of a feminist qualitative project I recently completed on people's everyday experiences of using Skype. One reason why it took me longer in the early stages of this project is that I needed to engage with literature in a broader array of disciplines than in the past. In addition, I felt it important to engage not only with a variety of academic literature but a range of sources. The second reason why it took me longer in the initial stages is that most contemporary familial relations are now framed not just offline but also online, stretching families in complex new directions across time and space. This means that researchers may now need to take an extended period in the initial stages of a project to think carefully about what empirical work (performative, face-to-face, online, etc.) will best serve the project. The 'Intervention' concludes that spending longer in this initial period of processing information, while potentially frustrating may have some advantages.
