Abstract
This chapter aims to help new and more experienced researchers reflect on what counts as data and how people might understand the own role as researchers. Contemporary research on NGOs has acknowledged the dilemmas involved in defining NGOs as knowable entities. Such research has also explored how their location within wider contexts of development, social movements and international relations can serve to further complicate definitions. The chapter seeks to contribute to an ontological turn in NGO research by foregrounding the importance of process, the blurring of boundaries and the material world. It provides a close excavation of the Deleuzio-Guattarian assemblage in New Materialist theory as well as its interpretations. This theory will then be put to work to show how it might be used to conceptualise NGOs and generate research about them.
