This collection scrutinizes the methodological and ethical challenges that researchers face when working with and for Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities in the context of global crises.

Contributors assess the impact of the pandemic on their engaged research, evaluating novel methods and technologies. They reveal how current research practice blurs the borders between activism and scholarship, and they argue the need for innovative collaborations with local communities.

Showcasing emerging aspects of GRT-related scholarship, this book makes a key contribution to larger debates on the positionality of researchers and the politics of research, and affirms the continued value of rigorous ethnography.

“This volume offers innovative and courageous scholarship through rich ethnographic accounts of the COVID-19 pandemic that had a dreadful effect on Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities across Europe. It will be essential reading for researchers, activists, experts and anyone who wants to understand and reflect on the inequalities in knowledge production within academia.” Angéla Kóczé, Central European University
