Health and Safety in the Field with Ravi Perry and Sarah Zukerman Daly
Description
We welcome Ravi Perry from Howard University and Sarah Zukerman Daly from Columbia University to talk about the crucial but oft-overlooked issues of health and safety in the field—whether in one's home community or in a foreign location. Ravi and Sarah share some of the personal challenges they've faced in the course of their fascinating research on the balancing act of racial politics by Black mayors in majority white districts in the U.S., and the variation in the demilitarization of violent organizations following peace negotiations in Colombia, respectively. Throughout the episode, we discuss a variety of steps that researchers should take to protect themselves and those around them.
