Qualitative Methods Training
Advancing Research on Conflict
I co-direct an annual summer program in fieldwork preparedness with Sarah Parkinson. The program is designed to prepare Ph.D. students to conduct rigorous, academic research in violence or conflict-affected field sites, in addition to facilitating the development of professional support networks that include faculty and peers engaged in similar work.
ARC is grounded in the philosophy that the environments in which researchers operate provide crucial context for careful research design and sound data analysis. Shifting political conditions can leave researchers ill-equipped to navigate the complex realities they encounter on the ground. As a result, researchers can inadvertently subject themselves, their interlocutors, and the communities in which they work to various harms. Given that fieldwork in contexts affected by violence and conflict can pose risks to scholars and their interlocutors, understanding – and preparing for – adverse events is integral to ethical and rigorous research conduct.
Transitional Justice Workshop: "Exploring Peace and Justice Through Film"
In a collaboration between Never Again Rwanda and Voices from the Rwanda Tribunal, I led and designed the justice and human rights component of a two week workshop on transitional justice in Kigali during Summer 2009. The students, aged 15-19, created two films over the course of the workshop. The student films can be viewed below:
The Transformation of Justice in Rwanda (9 minutes)
Justice in Rwanda (11 minutes)
