Political Science and International Relations (English)
On 26 November 2024, Dr. Sinem Kavak from Lund University gave an important talk on fieldwork with vulnerable groups and qualitative research methods. The conversation addressed the ethical dimensions of research with emotionally vulnerable and socially fragile individuals in particular.
Dr. Kavak shared her personal experiences of the challenges faced in such research and the ethical questions that arise during fieldwork. Participants had the opportunity to learn about important issues such as how to ensure trust-based communication with vulnerable groups in research processes, confidentiality and security measures.
The event provided an important learning opportunity for professionals working in this field both in the academic world and in practice. This talk is a valuable guide for both researchers interested in qualitative research methods and those who want to conduct such studies in an ethical manner.
