This seminar takes cue from a decolonial, indigenous critical methodological approach when investigating and reflecting upon challenges of research ethics in volatile contexts in transregional perspective. It aims to enable students to be able to · critically reflect upon research ethics as central component of a self-reflective research design process, · engage with one’s own positionality and spatiality as well as with power and volatility in the Global North as well as Global South · draft a research ethics strategy and coping mechanisms when undertaking field research. In a first seminar bloc we engage with key readings and audio podcasts from scholars from a diverse disciplinary and topic-wise background. In a final seminar bloc, students will present their own take on how to negotiate research ethics and one’s own political and personal geography in sessions with topic tables / world café as well as with museum walks.
