{"title":"The Ethical and Practical Challenges of Archiving Refugee Accounts: Reflections from Two Research Projects in the UK","authors":"E. Stewart, Marnie Shaffer","doi":"10.1177/0759106321995707","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/0759106321995707","url":null,"abstract":"Since the 2015 ‘refugee crisis’, the lens of researchers has been increasingly focused upon asylum seekers and refugees around the world. Nevertheless, working in the field of refugee studies poses several methodological and data challenges. For example, there is a relative paucity of detailed statistical data on refugee stocks, which has led to researchers favouring the collection of personal, qualitative stories from refugee populations. Although this produces a substantial volume of rich narratives, these can be geographically and temporally specific. The collection of qualitative data is also expensive, time consuming, and labour intensive. Therefore, alongside the increasing institutional and mandatory demands to deposit qualitative material in open access repositories, there is growing recognition of the value of archiving refugee accounts. There are also significant challenges in archiving refugee interview transcripts to enhance broader knowledge. In this paper, we discuss the process of archiving refugee accounts to highlight the practical and ethical challenges of depositing sensitive material. Specifically, we draw upon the archival process that was required upon completion of two Research Council funded projects in the UK. This involved the preparation and depositing of interview transcripts from over 100 refugees. Key challenges that arose included the need to uphold interviewees’ confidentiality, the process of anonymisation, and determining the level of access to grant future users. Subsequent issues have involved responding to data requests, permitting selective release of data, and stipulating conditions for release. We then reflect more widely upon the tensions we encountered between procedural and micro-ethics, namely the difference between decisions based upon rules rather than judgement. In doing so, we consider key processes and highlight best practice to be adopted in the future archival of refugee stories.","PeriodicalId":210053,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin de Méthodologie Sociologique","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133261474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among the most salient changes is the growing incentive to archive, share and reuse research data. Today, many governments, funding agencies, research infrastructures and editors are pushing what is commonly known as Open Research Data (ORD). By reflecting on concrete experiences of data sharing, the different contributions to this issue point to the ethical challenges posed by this new trend. Through a fine objectivation of the archiving work, they call to take distance from the bureaucratic framework imposed by the new ethics and ORD policies and to think of data sharing as a situated, contextual and dynamic process. The cost of the exercise as well as the sensitivity of certain data and subjects suggest opting for flexible approaches that leave a certain autonomy and freedom of appraisal to researchers.","PeriodicalId":210053,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin de Méthodologie Sociologique","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114277601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Le partitionnement récursif comme alternative aux modèles de régression paramétriques dans les sciences sociales. Les modèles de régression paramétrique sont devenus l’outil dominant de la sociologie quantitative. Cette domination n’est pas sans poser problème et de nombreuses critiques ont été exprimées, tant sur le plan statistique qu’épistémologique. Pourtant, le développement de la fouille de données, puis de l’apprentissage automatique, a conduit à l’émergence d’approches méthodologiques permettant de surmonter la plupart des limites des modèles de régression paramétrique, pour les différents types d’utilisation qui intéressent les sciences sociales. Nous soutenons que le partitionnement récursif, en particulier, peut être très utile pour les sciences sociales. En effet, cette approche présente un certain nombre d’avantages techniques par rapport à la régression paramétrique et, surtout, elle est cohérente avec une conception des déterminations sociales en termes de configurations de facteurs interdépendants (et non d’additions de facteurs indépendants). Dans un deuxième temps, nous passons en revue une série d’outils permettant d’interpréter les résultats obtenus par les algorithmes de partitionnement récursif. Ensemble, ils forment une boîte à outils très complète pour les sciences sociales et montrent que le partitionnement récursif n’est plus une boîte noire dès lors que les outils d’interprétation appropriés sont mobilisés. Enfin, nous illustrons les méthodes présentées à l’aide d’exemples sociologiques sur le monde du cinéma. Ce faisant, nous montrons que ces méthodes permettent de traiter différents types de problèmes qui se posent en sciences sociales lorsque des régressions paramétriques sont habituellement utilisées, en l’occurrence l’étude des effets de structure et la hiérarchisation des facteurs explicatifs.","PeriodicalId":210053,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin de Méthodologie Sociologique","volume":"117 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123306573","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
