Workshops
Helping make fieldwork safer, healthier, and more ethical.
Our custom workshops prepare students for their fieldwork, drawing on subject areas that not covered sufficiently in existing pre-field methods courses. Drawing on our own expertise and our team of expert practitioners and contributing authors, our workshops acknowledge that challenges in contemporary fieldwork are not limited to so-called ‘difficult’ or ‘extreme’ settings. Both researchers and their interlocutors are vulnerable to numerous challenges regardless of where they work, and training needs to reflect this.
Following the outbreak of the global Covid-19 pandemic, the ways in which we conduct research have changed and now require the incorporation of digital methods and subsequent consideration of ethical digital practices. The impact that long term research in the field, wherever it may be, can take on the health and wellbeing of those conducting fieldwork has led to concern over university preparedness for fieldwork. In the wake of several high profile cases of detainment, torture, and death of doctoral students at UK universities, these workshops are designed to provide students conducting long-term fieldwork with the tools they need to navigate complex research challenges.
TNE now offers workshops on conducting distanced research safely. Read on to find out about our past workshops, and get in touch to find out what we can offer your institution.
