Join UKRAINETT for an engaging digital seminar with Professor Oksana Mikheieva from UCU.
In her presentation Oksana Mikheieva will talk about her own experience of research during the war, the specifics of knowledge production in war-affected societies, as well as possible ethical and methodological challenges faced by researchers. Critical approaches to the study of war-affected societies emphasise the need for a more empirically grounded approach to knowledge production. There is currently a shift in research on war-affected societies towards localisation and a call for more ‘voices’ with local knowledge and expertise. However, how is this being realised in practice? What difficulties and challenges do this lead to? What challenges do researchers face at all stages, from research design to presentation of findings? Where do we encounter different ethical tensions and how can these be mitigated?
When: 10 April 12:00 – 13:00 CET
Where: Zoom
