Ethical Challenges and Dilemmas

Produktbeschreibung

This book provides fresh insights on ethical issues faced when conducting fieldwork overseas by hearing from the experience of current or recent postgraduates rather than established academics with many years of experience. Their personal experiences and real examples offer honest and self-critical reflections on negotiating ethical challenges and dilemmas, which will appeal to postgraduates, undergraduate students and all other researchers conducting their research in the Global South.
