Leir Migration Monitor – January 2024

In our latest Notes from the Field entry, Co-Principal Investigator Dr. Kimberly Howe and Project Manager Shenandoah Cornish share insights on HFI’s trauma-informed methodology, which encourages researchers to be reflexive, to be aware of power dynamics, and to actively mitigate the risk of re-traumatization of informants.

Howe and Cornish reflect, “By contemplating the implications of our inquiries, we strove to foster an environment that respected the autonomy and agency of those who choose to share their stories.”
