Introduction to special issue: Broken mirrors — reflexivity, relationships and complicity in researching education in emergencies

Carrying out research in and on conflict-affected contexts requires entering and negotiating within local and global fields of power. Yet the tensions and wider geopolitical positioning of the field are often relegated to the sidelines in empirical texts. This editorial opens a special issue on reflexivity, relationships and complicity in education in emergencies (EiE) research. The issue straddles concern with the macro dynamics that shape EiE as a field; the micro dynamics at play within research teams, especially as these intersect with geographic, geopolitical and identity-based inequities; and the interpersonal, political and ethical dimensions of researcher reflexivity.
