ABSTRACT:

ENRICI, Ashley (Independent) Sexual Harassment in the Field. Being a woman in the field comes with a unique set of challenges. Many anthropologists experience sexual harassment during fieldwork, yet there are rarely resources or support for those facing these experiences. There is also sometimes a dearth of information, particularly as being in foreign countries comes with unique challenges surrounding foreign laws, socio-cultural norms & expectations. This panel invites all to join a discussion about the challenges of being a woman in the field, including unique challenges faced by women of color and transgender women; and seeks to propose some solutions or future action.
