Fieldwork on repression, armed conflict and other sensitive topics is increasingly dangerous for both researchers and their interlocuters. But also remote methodologies, which are increasingly replacing traditional field work, harbor a range of risks for researchers and their research participants. Therefore, it is imperative to support early-career researchers as much as seasoned scholars with advice on how to maneuver this sensitive environment. The two-day training addresses this need through a series of instructional, consultative and practical sessions, led by two experienced trainers of field safety, digital security and research communication for academics. For registration, please send an email to bcge@berlin-university-alliance.de with a brief description of your key interests and your current position until October 17, 2022.
