Notes
1. The ethics surrounding fieldwork with children in conflict zones as research subjects; like that pertaining to woman working in conflict zones as researchers; are complex. As I have discussed elsewhere, children need to be engaged sensitively and critically (Yael Warshel Citation2018a).

Here, she writes about the dynamics of doing so as a woman.
