This collection explores the roles of emotion, violence, uncertainty, identity and positionality within the process of doing research in and on conflict zones, as well as the complexity of methodological choices.

It highlights the researchers' own subjectivity and presents a nuanced view of conflict research that goes beyond the messiness inherent in the process of research in and on violence and the potential for violence of research itself. It addresses the uncomfortable spaces of conflict research and the need for reflection on these issues.
