#17 BONUS Fieldwork Abroad with Professor Mark Lorenzen

The Thesis Talks

In this BONUS episode we talk to MSO Professor in an open event at CBS Library forum on fieldwork, and specifically doing fieldwork abroad. We (Lena & Doa) were lucky to have Mark as our supervisor and learn from his experiences abroad that we could take with us when we went to Kenya a year ago for our fieldwork. Listen as he tells us why it is important, doing quantitative and qualitative analysis “in the field”, and ethical considerations to take into account. For the purpose of duration and keeping it sharp we cut out Mark’s stories from his fieldwork to focus on his pep talk and what considerations you as a master thesis student should take into account if you want to do field work abroad for you thesis! Enjoy and if any questions you’re always welcome to write to us!
