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/
"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/
One of the first publications about sexualized violence during fieldwork was written by a Swedish anthropologist. She published her account in 1995 under the pseudonym “Eva Moreno”. Interestingly, using a pseudonym had initially not been her choice. 🧵(1/6)
In March, I published a book chapter about my experiences of violence during fieldwork. This was one of the hardest things I did in my academic career and it took me years to find the right place for the text and the courage to do this. (1/4)
We are pleased to share the fifth post in our blog #contestedknowledge. @LauraThurmann @ArtemisRaiz, @KiraKreft, @SasserTausend, @tamara_gupper & Christina Bosbach reflect on fieldwork safety and knowledge production. boasblogs.org/contestedknowl…
It is published! Many thanks to @ErinPritchard15 and @delythsedwards, and to all the people who supported me during the publication process. I'm really happy to be part of this amazing book!
As my PhD is an applied research project, I used some of my findings to develop workshops together with @tamara_gupper and @KiraKreft. I am proud to be part of this project and an amazing team. Check out our new website! #anthrotwitter

Almost ready to launch! We are excited about finalizing our website this week. #anthrotwitter
This week we held a two-day workshop focusing on gendered safety during #fieldwork for researchers @CRC228. Our aim was to expand the participants' awareness and propose simple tools to reflect upon gendered risks and safety in a systematic way #anthrotwitter
In May 2021, we started our project as an informal group of researchers who organized a workshop on fieldwork safety for students. Now we are in the process of formalizing our initiative. We are planning a website, a position paper, and more workshops. Stay tuned!
🧵(1/5) On Friday and Saturday, @tamara_gupper @KiraKreft and I successfully held our workshop on fieldwork safety for the first time. A thread on what our workshop concept is about #Anthrotwitter
Dear #anthrotwitter, I’m still looking for participants for my PhD on gendered safety in ethnographic #fieldwork. If you are an #anthropologist based in the UK, and are interested in taking part in an interview, please contact me via dm or email (below). Also, please retweet!
Truth Be Told: Saftey and Support in the Field This year safety and support is more vital than ever. Join us to learn, share and find support. Hoping to create a 'safety box' for when you need it. @LauraThurmann @FieldworkSafety #anthro @UniKentSAC tinyurl.com/5afebh3f
I am looking for participants for a study on gendered security practices and violence in #fieldwork. Please get in touch if you are interested! #anthrotwitter #metoofieldwork #metooacademia #metooanthro #ethnologie #Sozialanthropologie #anthropology #soctwitter
