Abstract

Doing research in conflict zones presents many challenges and ethical dilemmas, especially where power dynamics between local actors are tense. The simple act of being present or asking questions can create new conflicts or revive old ones, even when ethical guidelines are followed. It is therefore imperative that researchers understand the dynamics of their research settings and how to negotiate access and exit from the field, which forums for knowledge exchange between researchers could support.
