The Companion to Peace and Conflict Fieldwork

“Mac Ginty et al.’s book is a remarkable collection of personal experiences of scholars and academics who embarked on field research in countries affected by conflict. Regarded as essential reading for those embarking upon fieldwork in social science disciplines, this book is intended for any researcher who needs a guide for researching in such territories. … the authors have created an indispensable resource for any Ph.D. student or early career researcher who plans to conduct fieldwork in conflict areas.” (Adriana Marin,Behavioral Sciences of Terrorism and Political Aggression, June 3, 2021)
