Navigating Fieldwork in the Social Sciences “This book offers moving accounts of risk, vulnerability and the resoundingly human encounter that is fieldwork. Delivered as a generous exercise in reflexive consciousness, it is an education in self-care through story-telling, delivering as it does a searching analysis of the tender, messy, and moving encounters we share while learning with and from others. Fieldwork changes us, and writing of how we are changed takes courage.” —Amanda Kearney, Co-author of Reflexive Ethnographic Practice and Professor at Flinders University, Australia “This book offers lucid and insightful discussions on negotiating the risks, problems and perils of conducting ethnographic research in the social sciences. Covering such diverse populations as sex workers, refugees, street gangs, anarchists, and even Taliban warlords, the authors have produced a must-read for anyone interested in ethnographic fieldwork.” —Mark S. Hamm, Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice at Indiana State University, USA “This edited collection is about the many risks of field research, including risks that continue long after fieldwork ends. It speaks to the critical importance of field research, but also the need to be aware of the risks that come with it. Ethical fieldwork that does no harm, and is safe for researchers, co-workers and communities starts with honest stories from fieldworkers. This book tells these stories, stories that will emotionally and intellectually challenge readers of all kinds. Read this book!” —Dorothea Hilhorst, Professor of Humanitarian Studies, Erasmus University, The Netherlands
