Events

The workshop aims to discuss changes that have taken place in Afghanistan research from disciplinary, content-related, ethical and funding perspectives since the 1970s and invites all participants to reflect on the reasons for the detected changes. To achieve this, it starts out with the panelists' personal reflections on research they have conducted in Afghanistan over the last decades at different points in time and from distinct study backgrounds. Other points the panelists aim to address include

• Afghanistan in peaceful times??? (has it ever been peaceful?)

• Considerations of research ethics (funding, ethical reasoning at home institutions, working with whom and how, dealing with externally driven research agendas, embedded research...)

• Which topics will likely become relevant, and for whom, in 'truly' peaceful times?

The format allows for input and Q&A from/with the audience.
