Panel 133: Beyond "going native": challenges of empirical social science research in rural Africa (Till Stellmacher)

Panel Organiser: Till Stellmacher

Empirical social science research in rural Africa goes beyond ‘going native as far as possible’ and applying standardised research methods. It is a multi-facetted process bringing pros and cons for many individuals concerned. This panel allows a critical and self-reflexive discussion on contemporary challenges and prospects of the topic.
