At the end of my fieldwork research, I should have felt ecstatic I collected good data and rejoiced to go back home with another no-fly trip. But never before have I felt as sad to leave Bougainville. I explain why in my Substack channel: https://gianlu777.substack.com/p/leaving-the-end-of-the-world?r=3bfowj
