In this episode, Avery leads a panel discussion on conceptualizing trauma and suffering -- and how research methods can be used to walk the tightrope of both acknowledging the reality of research participants' suffering, while also uncovering their everyday experiences and humanity. Panelists include Bree Akesson, Martha Bragin and Cindy Sousa.

Unlocking Hard to Access Research Sites: Tales of researching powerful criminal justice institutions

Join us as we talk to researchers, students, practitioners, and policy and social change makers to explore diverse topics related to human security. CRSP Talk features discussions about threats to human security as well as insights into how it is enhanced and sustained. Along the way, we will periodically pause to discuss the research process itself and how researchers journey from generating ideas to sharing findings.
