"Safer Field Research and Research Communication in Challenging Research Environments"

Online-Training: November 17-18, 2022, both days 10am to 1pm, online

Fieldwork on repression, armed conflict and other sensitive topics is increasingly dangerous for both researchers and their interlocuters. But also remote methodologies, which are increasingly replacing traditional field work, harbor a range of risks for researchers and their research participants. Therefore, it is imperative to support early-career researchers as much as seasoned scholars with advice on how to maneuver this sensitive environment. The two-day workshop “Safer Field Research and Research Communication in Challenging Research Environments” addresses this need through a series of instructional, consultative and practical sessions, led by two experienced trainers of field safety, digital security and research communication for academics.
