gender, marriage, and motherhood Crossing many disciplinary
boundaries, her concept of social death has come to play a
significant role in multidisciplinary field of genocide studies

recently commissioned essays by leading philosophers whose work has
been influenced by Card The full scope of Card's philosophy is
presented here - both in her own words and those of her critics and
interpreters
Indispensable to the research practice carried out by so-called
"contracting researchers," who are often based in the Global North,
"facilitating researchers," often based in those conflict-affected
areas of the Global South that contracting researchers are
contracted to study, are usually the ones who truly regulate the
access and flow of knowledge. Yet as often as not, they are
referred to merely as 'fixers', with their contributions
systematically erased in final research texts. Facilitating
Researchers in Insecure Zones brings together first-hand accounts
by several facilitating or "brokering" researchers in three
settings afflicted by armed conflict--namely, DR Congo, Sierra
Leone and Jharkhand, India--in order to highlight the varied and
crucial roles they play. In so doing, this volume also bears
witness to the insecurities and resource-scarcities they have to
navigate in order to facilitate the research of others. Ultimately,
their experiences and insights point to more equitable fieldwork
and more collaborative processes of knowledge production. For its
first-hand accounts of fieldwork in insecure zones, as well as for
its diverse geographical and topical coverage, this book is a
must-read for researchers and students researching interested in
ethnographic and fieldwork methods and ethics, particularly as they
apply to conflicts and to research in the Global South.
