It's publication day! "Why did I get into that car?" is a question that has haunted me for years & that I'm grateful to late Lee Ann Fujii for encouraging me to address. I start the chapter w/ this q to explore the limits of trust & researcher safety in fieldwork on armed conflict 👇🏼 bit.ly/4kW1hob

Back from mat leave to see some long-awaited publications coming out! In this Forum, I discuss the practices of flexibility in research design, ongoing reflexivity & project updating before, during & after fieldwork based on the experience of the large, team-based @civilwarpaths.bsky.social project

Excited to share my blogpost for @civilwarpaths.bsky.social Fellowship on the complex entanglements between business, conflict, and human rights! I discuss how corporations integrate the 'cost' of conflict into their ventures, despite dangerous consequences for civilians on the ground.
