Book Review: Phillip Wadds, Nicholas Apoifis, Susanne Schmeidl and Kim Spurway, Navigating Fieldwork in the Social Sciences: Stories of Danger, Risk and Reward

ethnography to connect personal experiences to broader cultural and structural themes, managing blurred boundaries of co-producing knowledge, and how to reduce life stories to word-limited journal articles and time-limited conference presentations. On the latter, Lenette ’ s writes, ‘ It ’ s very colonialist ’ and uses decolonisa-tion work to unlearn those ways of limited and ef ﬁ cient sharing to create new ways of being. This book goes beyond the standard discussion of risks and ethics in ethnographic ﬁ eldwork. It encourages the reader not to fear danger. This book will provide insights for students new to ﬁ eldwork as well to those already acquainted with community engage-ment, particularly because of the two-sided aim of the book: sharing stories and strategies but also growing a movement of resistance. The reader is invited to embrace the inherent messiness of ﬁ eldwork and to go beyond using sanitised ethics applications as risk-mitigation strategies by building support networks.
