“…Funding by private and/or non-academic institutions also multiplied research grants and contracts tied with specific topics often determined with the strategic, security and political restrictions already mentioned. In a context of scarce resources, peerpressure and high level of competition from the PhD level-and sometimes even Masters-carrying out a "dangerous" fieldwork is often perceived as a competitive advantage, valued by institutions (Knott 2019;Browne 2020). Moreover, although the situation of research assistants, who enjoy privileged access to the field, has been debated for close to a decade, structural inequality can still be found in the implementation of methodological protocols, choice of theoretical frameworks, and access to publication in international journals, as well as in risk-taking during fieldwork, especially in violent contexts.…”

Large multinational teams of academics and activist-practitioners that span the Global North-South divide have become common in qualitative research because of the reliance of field of peace and conflict studies on “local” knowledge and expertise. Complex global emergencies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, present the opportunity to (re)shape and (re)consider these endeavors in key some ways. This article focuses on the involvement of South-based activist-practitioners in three large North-South collaborations, one pre-pandemic (Beyond Words: Implementing Latin American Truth Commission Recommendations), one ongoing when the pandemic began (Gender, Justice, and Security Hub), and one launched during the pandemic (Truth Commissions and Sexual Violence: African and Latin American Experiences). Drawing on center-periphery framework, we adopt an autoethnographic approach, to reflect on how the pandemic has not only reinforced existing structural and institutional asymmetries through reduced funding, professional uncertainty, and personal loss and insecurity but also added some new ethical concerns. This reality has tested both our capacity and commitment to work toward the decolonization of knowledge in the field. In making this argument, we seek to contribute to the discussion on research ethics and the politics of knowledge production and sharing in qualitative peace and conflict research.
