Scholars and practitioners who witness violence and loss in human,
animal, and ecological contexts are expected to have no emotional
connection to the subjects they study. Yet is this possible?
Following feminist traditions, Vulnerable Witness centers the
researcher and challenges readers to reflect on how grieving is
part of the research process and, by extension, is a political act.
Through thirteen reflective essays the book theorizes the role of
grief in the doing of research-from methodological choices,
fieldwork and analysis, engagement with individuals, and places of
study to the manner in which scholars write and talk about their
subjects. Combining personal stories from early career scholars,
advocates, and senior faculty, the book shares a breadth of
emotional engagement at various career stages and explores the
transformative possibilities that emerge from being enmeshed with
one's own research.
