Title: An invitation to the “Survey Concerning Sexual Violence and
Harassment in Fieldwork Situations”
Dear colleagues
We are inviting you to complete an online survey mentioned above. The study
is being conducted by a multidisciplinary research project team (Harassment
in Fieldwork, HiF) led by Ruriko Otomo at Hokkaido University.
The purpose of the survey is to understand the actual situation regarding
sexual violence and sexual harassment in fieldwork with a future aim to
promote pre-fieldwork preparation and develop countermeasures.
It is bilingual (Japanese, English) and will be open during January 15 –
February 15, 2022. It should take no longer than 3?30 minutes to complete.
If you have experience in collecting research data and materials first hand
outside of the laboratory/office at your affiliated institution, your
participation is most welcome.
We also encourage fieldworkers who haven’t experienced sexual
violence/sexual harassment to participate. It will take around 3-5 minutes
to complete and your input will help provide valuable information not only
for the betterment of the research environment for students and researchers
undertaking fieldwork, but also for those who send their students to field
sites.
