There was discussion by some scholars in the 2017 AoIR workshop in Tartu Estonia about researching hacker communities and some practical considerations for safety. I work in a national statistics agency and while I can't represent the agency, we have hundreds of professional interviewers who work with us who have methods that I can probably find documentation on to share. Mostly we have our banks of telephone interviewers but we have field interviewers too. I should be able to find public information about our safety techniques.

Hi all,
At AOIR22, I volunteered to head up an unofficial AOIR effort about protecting people from risky research - research that puts scholars at risk from networked harassment, online abuse, reputational damage, and emotional/mental health impacts. The goal is to create a document somewhat similar to the AOIR Ethics Guide to help both individuals and institutions mitigate such risk, with an emphasis on collective rather than individual solutions.
I am looking for people interested in working on this project in any capacity - brainstorming, research, writing, resources, etc. My goal is to draw on the massive expertise of AOIR members, many of whom I know already work on this or similar efforts.
I have put together a Google Doc summarizing the preliminary vision for this effort and a Google Form that you can fill out to get involved.
Doc:

If you have already contacted me about wanting to be involved, thanks! Please fill out the form anyway because I don't want anyone to fall through the cracks and this will help me keep all the ideas in one place.
Let me know if there are any questions! Also, can someone repost this to the ECR/grad Discord?
Thanks! Alice Alice E.
