Short description

The project aims to facilitate collaboration and communication between disciplines that research corruption and spur critical reflections on

(a) the link between conceptualizations and methods in researching corruption;

(b) limitations and benefits of particular data and methods for corruption research; and

(c) ethical and security-related issues in applying different methods of researching corruption.

The goal is to develop resources, such as a handbook, website, and a podcast, which will foster critical reflections on appropriate data collection and research methods for investigating the chosen forms of corruption, taking into account practical and ethical issues.
