As we are preparing for our winter break, we thought it was a good time to look back on our work in 2023. Check out our latest news post: saferfieldworkproject.de/news/
@HarmonieKlein @LaSFDP Great to know you are also working on the topic!
Make field work a safer place. This is currently a project on which I am working with my lab colleagues and within a @LaSFDP working group. This is a very important topic and there are still many improvements to be made. I'm glad others are working on this as well 🙏🏼
Are you currently involved in seminars or trainings about ethnographic methods? Are you supervising students who will go on fieldwork in the next months? Please have a look at our manifesto for safer fieldwork! #anthrotwitter #metooacademia #phdlife saferfieldworkproject.de/manifesto/

Please help us raise more awareness for researcher safety by sharing our manifesto @EASAinfo @SozKultAnthro @RoyalAnthro @theasainfo @stsing_org @IfSFrankfurt @STSeasst @enpanthro @DGSoziologie @historikertag @Asso_AFEA @AmericanAnthro @culanth @his_hamburg

"The many incidents that we were told about and the recent publications show the prevalence and diversity of unsafe fieldwork experiences and the need for a paradigm shift towards a more nuanced approach to researcher safety." - Read our manifesto here: saferfieldworkproject.de/manifesto/
We are more than happy to learn that Fariba Adelkhah has arrived back in France. We wish her all the best for her regained freedom!
Fariba Adelkhah: "That is all behind me now. What remains are all the gestures of friendship and commitment, the engagement of people both known and unknown, friends for a day and friends for ever." Read her words 🙏 faribaroland.hypotheses.org/16546
In order to make academic work safer, we need to understand the contexts and dynamics which contribute to the (un)safety of researchers. The withdrawal of the edited volume "Sexual Misconduct in Academia" inhibits important and necessary conversations. #NotInOurAcademia

Congratulations to our co-founder @LauraThurmann and everyone else who participated in this much-needed book! We know how hard it is to write about and publish experiences of violence, which is all the more a reason to be proud of this outstanding achievement! 🎉🎉🎉
