What happens when researchers turn the critical lens on themselves while studying radical politics? The contributors to this volume offer a rare window into the difficult processes of navigating one’s own positionality, morals, ethics, and deep-seated assumptions when researching radical topics. The exciting breadth of chapters includes contributions by Donatella della Porta on Palestine solidarity in academia, alongside personal reflections by former IRA member Anthony McIntyre on struggling to protect interviewee transcripts at Boston College, and many more. The volume digs into the messy process of approaching radical movements as scholars, and begins the critically important conversation about how we curate our own approaches toward radical positions.
