Abstract

The central objective of this paper is to identify and analyze certain practical problems, ethical dilemmas and gender factors that affect access to research participants, in this case returnee refugee women in Liberia, and the possible implications for research outcomes. Various authors have noted that while there is agreement about the perils of doing research in post conflict areas, little is known about other important aspects of carrying out such research, and particularly, about the problems of accessing research participants. The article proposed a novel Five Concentric Circles Approach to Accessing research participants, and linked the various practical stages of field based research with ethical outcomes. This paper helps us conclude that addressing the various practical considerations, ethical dilemmas and gender sensitivities in post conflict research, though a delicate process, will yield results in affirming the authoritativeness of the researched and the integrity of the researcher.
