The Russian and Eurasian Security Research Group at the Department of War Studies, King's College London, is pleased to invite you to a one-day workshop 'Doing Fieldwork in Russia and the Former Soviet Union: Challenges and Opportunities'.

The workshop will address issues and concerns associated with being in the field in Russia and the post-Soviet space. The aim of the workshop is to share experiences, offer insights and give useful tips in a friendly and informal setting. We will discuss the following types of data collection: elite interviews, surveys, interviews with everyday actors, participant observation/ethnography - as well as address ethical dilemmas of fieldwork in the CIS. The workshop will be particularly useful to early career researchers and PhD/Masters students. It will also present opportunities for networking. 
 
The workshop is supported by the Russian and Eurasian Security Working Group of the British International Studies Association (BISA).

Attendance is on a first come first served basis.
