Beschreibung

This edited volume offers useful resources for researchers conducting fieldwork in various global conflict contexts, bringing together a range of international voices to relay important methodological challenges and opportunities from their experiences. The book provides an extensive account of how people do conflict research in difficult contexts, critically evaluating what it means to do research in the field and what the role of the researcher is in that context.

Among the topics discussed:

• Conceptualizing the interpreter in field interviews in post-conflict settings
• Data collection with indigenous people
• Challenges to implementation of social psychological interventions
• Researching children and young people's identity and social attitudes
• Insider and outsider dynamics when doing research in difficult contexts
• Working with practitioners and local organizations

Researching Peace, Conflict, and Power in the Field is a valuable guide for students and scholars interested in conflict research, social psychologists, and peace psychologists engaged in conflict-related fieldwork.
