2021: Publication of Punctuation, Pause, Next Slide Please: The Risks of Research & Self-Disclosure
I am delighted that our collaborative book chapter, by Dawne Fahey and Deborah Cunningham Breede, has now been published.
Chapter title: Punctuation, Pause, Next Slide Please: the Risks of Research and Self-Disclosure.
Book title: Researchers at risk: precarity, jeopardy and uncertainty in academia. It is edited by Dr Deborah Mulligan & Dr Patrick Danaher. Published by Palgrave Studies in Education Research Methods.
https://www.palgrave.com/gp/book/9783030538569
" About the book: This book explores the phenomenon of researchers at risk: that is, the experiences of scholars whose research topics require them to engage with diverse kind of dangers, uncertainties or vulnerabilities. This risk may derive from working with variously marginalised individuals or groups, or from being members of such groups themselves. At other times, the risk relates to particular economic or environmental conditions, or political forces influencing the specific research fields in which they operate. This book argues for the need to reconceptualise – and thereby to reimagine – the phenomenon of researchers’ risks, particularly when those risks are perceived to affect, and even to threaten the researchers. Drawing on a diverse and global range case studies including Aotearoa New Zealand, Australia, Balūchistān, Cyprus, and Germany, the chapters call for the need to identify effective strategies for engaging proactively with these risks to address precarity, jeopardy and uncertainty."
