Researchers und ertaking fieldwork in fragile contexts are often required to immerse the mselves among people and events that can be tough to observe, interpret, and write up. The complexity of such work is likely to elicit powerful and potentially harmful emotional responses for the researcher that, if untreated or unrecognised, can leave them at risk of compassion fatigue. In this webinar, I draw attention to the emotional well-being of the vu lnerable researcher. I focus on the ethics review process and argue that current institutional structures are generally insufficient to adequate ly prepare, monitor, and support researchers to confidently undertake fi eldwork in fragile contexts. Using an ethics approach, I draw theoretica lly from scholars in other disciplines who pay critical attention to the se issues and, using their analyses, I present an 'Ethics Framework for Vulnerable Researchers' that maps how interventions and strategies can b e applied to the field of IHRM. My intention is to spur an honest and tr ansparent conversation to overcome a 'culture of silence' about the pers onal difficulties vulnerable researchers face in coping with arduous fie ldwork.
