The Challenges of Conducting Fieldwork through a Gender Lens
You are invited to attend a panel discussion on "The Challenges of Conducting Fieldwork through a Gender Lens", with women academics who have ample experience conducting fieldwork. Some of the questions to be discussed include: what are some of the aspects that women need to consider when planning on conducting fieldwork? what are some of the ethical challenges in conducting fieldwork? do those vary between men and women researchers? how do security concerns vary when we consider the researcher’s gender?
Panelists will present their perspectives followed by interventions from the audience. If you are considering conducting fieldwork or participating in a research abroad program, or if you have conducted fieldwork and would like to share your experience please make sure to mark your calendar.
Moderators:
Profs. Jaimie Bleck (political science) and

Gender Studies is about understanding people, both yourself and others. Gender Studies teaches us how human identities are shaped by gender and related traits such as sex, sexuality, race, ethnicity, class, religion and nationality. Through Gender Studies, we not only strive to understand people better, but because of this endeavor, we hopefully become more understanding people.
