SEMINARIO ORGANIZZATO DAL DOTTORATO (in inglese)
This seminar aims at encouraging an in-depth and critical reflection on qualitative research methods used in fragile contexts and sensitive research areas. Carrying out fieldwork in humanitarian contexts, conflict-sensitive settings, situations of poverty, social exclusion, and systemic violence often constitutes many ethical and methodological challenges for a researcher. Some of the topics on which this seminar will focus are: interacting with vulnerable and disadvantaged populations; gender-specific challenges; researcher’s positionality, self-reflexivity, and access to the field; practical and social implications of the research; psychological repercussions for the researcher; research limitations and challenges; security in authoritarian and fragile contexts. The discussion will be developed around case studies and reading materials and will encourage interested participants to carry out a fieldwork exercise. This seminar is particularly suitable for PhD candidates in migration and refugee studies, gender studies, or humanitarian studies who are expected to carry out field research. At the end of the seminar, participants will gain the theoretical tools to critically approach qualitative research in a perspective of sensitive contexts
