Jerike Loren Heinze is a cultural anthropologist and founder of The Fieldwork Initiative, a grassroots network dedicated to the safety of researchers during fieldwork. In this episode, we dive into the toxicity of trial-by-fire culture in academia; the need to shed light on the dangers and trauma of fieldwork; and auto-reflexivity as a framework for documenting how researchers are transformed by the research process.
