In our presentation we talk about central ethical dilemmas which may occur while studying socially exposed groups, who are used to being documented and suspicious by welfare society agents, but also how researcher may overcome such dilemmas by building trust. We will mainly use data material from our present study “Agency and networks: Unaccompanied minors in a hyper interconnected world”, a qualitative and partly ethnographic study about how ”unaccompanied” young people experience everyday life. Some themes will receive extra attention in our presentation. These are; 1. Providing access to their homes. Who provides access? The young people themselves? The manager or staff working at residential care units? 2. How can we maintain a solid trust building relation to the youth to keep them interested to talk to us more than once and provide us with “thick narratives”? 3. What do they think they may gain from contributing to the project? How do/can we match their expectations? 4. How can we in a time of increasing racialization and homogenization of this group of young people write about them in order not to reconstruct established stereotypes of them? And finally, 5. How can we contribute to reframing these young people as grieveable.
