This paper offers reflections on the author's research into equity in vocational education and training (VET). The author interprets 'research' to include her political-personal work such as the advocacy involved in equity work as well as more traditional academic notions of research. It is suggested that equity is complex, highly political and a site of contestation, crossing boundaries between the economic, social, cultural and political. The author discusses her approach to equity work in VET from the perspectives of: VET reform agendas; an educative approach to VET research; a collaborative and participative approach to VET research; the sharing of findings as widely as possible; and a 'state of the art' knowledge approach.
