Merci à David Mwambari & Andrea Purdeková pour notre tout nouveau numéro spécial "Global crisis and research production" qui vient de paraitre dans "Qualitative Research". Grand merci également aux contributeurs et éditeurs pour les échanges stimulants. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/14…

📢Publication Alert📢 Delighted & proud to share "(Un)exceptional times: Compounding crises and local stakeholders in field work during Covid-19". Developed w/ Marcos Vizcarra, the article does 3 things 🧵: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/14…

2) We challenge the Covid-19 exceptionalism narrative. Those experiencing sites of privilege through research benefitted while those living in contexts of chronic violence & vulnerability added Covid-19 to a long list of already existing risks to their well-being & lives

3) The article is a call to action. Scholars working on illicit economies ought to seriously interrogate the positionality of our local partners in the production of research & improve the transparency, sustainability, and ethics of conducting research in conflict settings.

Heartfelt thanks to David Mwambari Andrea Purdekova & Aymar N. Bisoka for believing in this work and the generous and thoughtful feedback you provided during the development process. Sincere gratitude to @AdrianaRudling for bringing me into this Special Issue. end 🧵
