Abstract
We describe efforts to negotiate a research role which, according to conventional standards, risks compromising objectivity because the researcher is required to play an organizational role. Given the particular nature of social research, an alternative conception of objectivity is proposed and a method for resolving the objectivity/ usefulness tension is outlined.
