This book explores the challenges and risks that researchers might face while conducting social science fieldwork. It offers best practice guidance for how to do research in hostile environments and provides pragmatic advice to help you make good decisions and minimize fieldwork risk. Covering each stage of the social research process - from research preparations to post-research debriefing - it outlines in a clear way to how to undertake fieldwork as safely as possible. Drawing on the authors' experiences of doing fieldwork in regions of conflict, the book is grounded in real-world examples and offers practical suggestions for how to assure the physical safety and digital security of both researchers and respondents. The book: Provides guidance about key aspects of the research process like choosing a research question in potentially sensitive contexts. Offers up to date advice on data and digital security to combat new risks and challenges in a contemporary research environment. Forms a practical toolkit you can apply to your project, with templates for conducting risk assessments and checklists that help you develop a tailored security framework Accessible and easy to read, this book helps you build your understanding of the challenges of on-the-ground social science research and offers practical support to empower you to meet the challenges of your research landscape head on.
