What is Social Field Safety and why is it important? Why focus on marginalized and historically excluded individuals when it comes to this issue?
At-risk individuals include minority identities of the following: race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, gender identity and/or religion. When individuals from these backgrounds enter unfamiliar communities in the course of fieldwork, they may be placed in an uncomfortable and potentially unsafe ‘othered’ position, and prejudice may manifest against them when it comes to interactions with the general public. We envision a world in which the outdoors feels safe and welcoming, regardless of personal identity (race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, or religion). We believe all field researchers deserve and have a right to the tools necessary for success in their professional work. Learn More.
