The last years have seen an increasing demand for methodological rigor and transparency in qualitative research, as well as for resources to advance and support field research. Drawing on the burgeoning literature on the topic, as well as on the speaker's direct experience in authoritarian contexts, this talk offers a synthetic reflection on several aspects of field research. These include ethical dilemmas, methodological challenges, as well as reflections on the practical aspects of planning, particularly during a pandemic.

Millions of people worldwide are being uprooted from their homes and communities. Central Americans are fleeing from economic precarity, climate disaster as well as state and criminal violence. Most head towards Mexico and the United States in search of a livable life. The forthcoming documentary The Vertical Border (Mexico, 2022) looks at what happens when forced migrants demand dignity and rights. How does the United States externalize its borders in an attempt to stop desperate migrants from reaching its territory? How does Mexico cope with the pressures of being a buffer state where displaced populations are trapped in inhospitable limbo? Join the filmmakers, immigration activists and legal service providers in this pre-release screening and discussion of the film to consider the impact of U.S. and Mexican deterrence strategies and examine the purposes of borders. The screen will take place on Wednesday, March 9, 2022 at 2:00 PM EST, followed by the panel discussion at 3:30 PM EST.
