The Safer Fieldwork Project

We open up room for discussion about physical and emotional safety in fieldwork . Run by @LauraThurmann and @tamara_gupper, co-founded by @Kirakreft.

We are an independent initiative working to make fieldwork safer for all researchers by holding workshops and contributing to academic debates. We stand in solidarity with current movements for better and safer working conditions in academia.

"The many incidents that we were told about and the recent publications show the prevalence and diversity of unsafe fieldwork experiences and the need for a paradigm shift towards a more nuanced approach to researcher safety." - Read our manifesto here: https://t.co/6cFZn2VzcY

We are more than happy to learn that Fariba Adelkhah has arrived back in France. We wish her all the best for her regained freedom!

Read her words 🙏

In order to make academic work safer, we need to understand the contexts and dynamics which contribute to the (un)safety of researchers. The withdrawal of the edited volume "Sexual Misconduct in Academia" inhibits important and necessary conversations. #NotInOurAcademia
