对经历过社会创伤的个人(例如种族灭绝和战争的受害者或肇事者)进行研究,给定性研究人员带来了艰难的决定。当研究人员是冲突社会的一员时,决定如何处理这些问题就变得更加成问题。为了完成这项工作,并与另一方的研究人员合作,必须选择敏感的数据收集方式。对材料的解释也同样困难:分析通常会产生研究人员从伦理、道德和个人角度难以处理的信息和理解,特别是当他或她是所研究的社会和文化的成员时。在这次主题演讲中,作者探讨了与这些主题相关的方法论和伦理问题。她列举了她在巴以冲突工作中的例子,并重点关注生活故事方法的使用。
Undertaking research on individuals who have experienced social traumas, such as being a victim or perpetrator of genocides and wars, presents difficult decisions for qualitative researchers. Deciding how to deal with these issues becomes more problematic when the researcher is a member of the society in conflict. To do this work, and to work collaboratively with researchers from the other side, sensitive ways to collect data have to be chosen. Interpretations of the materials can be no less difficult: Analyses often lead to information and understandings that may be difficult for the researcher to deal with from ethical, moral, and personal standpoints, especially when he or she is a member of the society and culture under study. In this keynote address, the author explores methodological and ethical issues connected to these topics. She brings examples from her work on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and focuses on use of the life story methodology.
