Call for Chapter Abstracts - Researchers at Risk: The Precarious Positions of Scholars Conducting Dangerous Enquiries

Sometimes this risk derives from working with variously marginalised individuals and groups, or from being members of such groups themselves; at other times, the risk relates to particular economic or environmental conditions and/or political forces influencing the specific research fields in which they operate.
