The Ethics of Preparedness in Humanitarian Disaster
REFNo: SS395ES

The objectives of the project, organized per research question, are as follows: Research question 1: How are journalists, and academics working in or adjacent to war zones trained for these conditions?

Objective: To generate knowledge about conflict-adjacent professionals’ background and training.

Research question 2: How do practitioners across professions cope with emergent ethical challenges in the everyday course of their work? Objectives: First, identify and better understand the common, everyday issues that conflict-adjacent professionals face in the line of their work. Second, to understand the way that conflict-adjacent professionals make decisions in the face of everyday challenges. Third, to gain those professionals’ own reflections on their approaches to resolving those problems. Research question 3: Do professionals’ protocols and practices evolve in the field, and if so, how?

Objective: To identify and better understand whether and how professionals’ protocols and practices evolve in the field in response to the challenges they face. This project will produce both academic and policy/practice outputs.
