Description

Join BISA’s Peacekeeping and Peacebuilding working group for a discussion of fieldwork methods and practices at the launch of the recently published The Companion to Peace and Conflict Fieldwork. The book includes contributions from over thirty scholars who, writing in the first person, reflect on the complexity of dealing with human subjects in conflict-affected contexts. During the session, authors will explore issues around race, gender, positionality and conflict sensitivity and will offer their insights on the personal, the political and the unanticipated in fieldwork.

Participants:

Sarah Njeri, Institute for Development Studies

Eric Lepp, University of Waterloo

Laura Routley and Katharine Wright, University of Newcastle

Chair:

Roger Mac Ginty, Durham University
