IUAES\nconference<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From 27 to 31 August 2019, the IUAES Inter-Congress\n“World Solidarities” took place in Poznan\/Poland. Several\nsecurity-related panels took place. Network member Ana Ivasiuc (Giessen)\nconvened a panel on “Solidarity in Times of (In)Security”, with\nAlexandra Schwell (Munich) as discussant.

The IUAES 2019 Inter-Congress was a huge success,\nparticularly with regard to the congress’s potential political impact. In\nSeptember 2018, the Polish government decided to erase cultural\/social\nanthropology and ethnology. Cultural\/social anthropology and ethnology were\nremoved from the list of academic disciplines. Scholars and academics have been\nprotesting since, and they hope that the organization and success of the IUAES\nInter-Congress help to show that anthropology and ethnology are in fact\ninternationally renowned academic disciplines.

De\nGoede, Marieke, Esm\u00e9 Bosma and Polly Pallister-Wilkins (2019): Secrecy and\nMethods in Security Research: A Guido to Qualitative Fieldwork<\/strong>. London; New\nYork: Routledge. https:\/\/www.crcpress.com\/Secrecy-and-Methods-in-Security-Research-A-Guide-to-Qualitative-Fieldwork\/Goede-Bosma-Pallister-Wilkins\/p\/book\/9780367027247<\/a>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This collection includes several chapters by ASN members<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summary: This book analyses the challenges of secrecy in security research, and develops a set of methods to navigate, encircle and work with secrecy.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can researchers navigate secrecy in their\nfieldwork, when they encounter confidential material, closed-off quarters or\nbureaucratic rebuffs? This is a particular challenge for researchers in the\nsecurity field, which is by nature secretive and difficult to access. This book\ncreatively assesses and analyses the ways in which secrecies operate in\nsecurity research. The collection sets out new understandings of secrecy, and\nshows how secrecy itself can be made productive to research analysis. It offers\nstudents, PhD researchers and senior scholars a rich toolkit of methods and\nbest-practice examples for ethically appropriate ways of navigating secrecy. It\npays attention to the balance between confidentiality, and academic freedom and\nintegrity. The chapters draw on the rich qualitative fieldwork experiences of\nthe contributors, who did research at a diversity of sites, for example at a\nformer atomic weapons research facility, inside deportation units, in conflict\nzones, in everyday security landscapes, in virtual spaces and at borders,\nbureaucracies and banks.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The book will be of interest to students of\nresearch methods, critical security studies and International Relations in\ngeneral.

\u201cFrom Righteousness to Far Right demonstrates the\ngreat value of working at the intersection between anthropology and critical\nsecurity studies for understanding the securitization of migration. In really\nengaging with anthropology as a mode of knowledge and knowing, Mc Cluskey makes\na major contribution to the turn towards micro-practices and the everyday in\nsecurity studies and International relations.\u201d Jef Huysmans, Queen Mary\nUniversity of London
