Prepared to do field work in demanding areas?
Some students include field work as part of their Master's thesis. The aim of this meeting is to ensure that students are sufficiently prepared to do field work, in particular in (post)conflict countries, and to address practical as well as academic issues connected to doing field work.
The meeting will be held by research professor Morten Bøås, Norwegian Institute of International Affairs.
He works predominantly on issues concerning peace and conflict in Africa, including issues such as land rights and citizenship conflicts, youths, ex-combatants and the new landscape of insurgencies and geopolitics. Bøås has conducted in-depth fieldwork in a number of African countries and travelled widely elsewhere on the continent.
