University training proved to be an aspect of participants' experiences that I kept coming back to in the analysis. University training, at a graduate level in particular, is relevant to the analysis I present in the following chapters because it is through this training that researchers form their understandings of research. In other words, the way interviewees understood research was substantively framed by their research training.

Only two participants did not have a graduate degree. Looked at through this lens, 10 out of the 12 interviewees had university graduate training or were working on it. In table 2, the ABD column refers to those participants who are working on their doctoral degrees.

What is clear to me now is that the interviewees cannot be categorized in two - or any other number for that matter - different equal groups for any type of comparison regarding the arguments I make in the following chapters. As with most qualitative research, participants do not fall into single categories. On the contrary, they cross many borders, which makes the task of analysing qualitative research even more messy, but also more interesting. If I had wanted to select interviewees screening for a particular characteristic, it would be university training and research interest. But I only realized this as a result of the analysis of the interviews I have already done. I could not have known this at the beginning of the project when decisions about participants were being made.
