This edited collection of first-person stories about risk in the
field offers an arsenal of practical examples where fieldworkers
have attempted to negotiate the complexities and risks of field
research. Field research can be a risky and dangerous journey where
the line between safety and danger can be crossed in quick time,
often with little warning. These risks manifest in diverse and
novel ways. They can be physical and psychological, ephemeral and
enduring. They can impact the researchers, participants,
collaborators and interviewees. Indeed, they can condition the very
foundation of our processes of knowledge production. Fieldwork is
no small stakes game. Covering research from Afghanistan, Chad, DR
Congo, Greece, the Horn of Africa, Iraq, Laos, Lebanon, Palestine,
India, Indonesia, Mexico, The Netherlands, Vietnam and Australia,
each chapter highlights diverse, eclectic, raw and vulnerable
narratives about risks experienced before, during and after the
conduct of this research. This book is of great value to
inexperienced and experienced fieldworkers alike.
