Ethical and Methodological Challenges in Field Research
7.5 credits
Study period: 2026-02-09 - 2026-03-13
Application period: 2025-12-02 - 2026-01-16
The course addresses ethical and methodological challenges encountered by researchers doing fieldwork in various contexts in both the global South and the global North. It reflects on a range of problems a researcher encounters through the research process – from planning to data collection/production, analysis and dissemination of results.
The students will develop and argue for the methodological design of their thesis project – focusing on data-collection and access to research contacts and interviewees – and discuss the main ethical challenges linked to their research and methodological choices.
