Abstract

The psychological burden placed on researchers who work in contexts of conflict and violence is a topic scarcely addressed, despite the traumatic events many researchers must confront. An Ansom writes about the extraordinary mental cost of fieldwork, and the negligence (or ignorance) of institutions in the global North who subcontract African research assistants and collaborators without considering the necessary mental health support.
