Description
This is the second of two linked panels examining the hidden spaces of gender, peace and security. It draws on critical feminist theories of clandestinity, relationality, social reproduction, and feminist fieldwork methodologies to offer new insights into armed conflict and peacebuilding. The panel examines the complex ethical and methodological challenges of undertaking feminist research in contexts of conflict and peacebuilding. Reflecting on qualitative research conducted in Bosnia & Herzegovina, India, Liberia, Nepal and Sri Lanka, it offers suggestions for how to uncover hidden stories of war and peace, using maps, objects, photography and other innovative methods.
