This article draws heavily on the post-abyssal philosophy of Boaventura de Sousa Santos in order to theorise new ways of thinking about research ethics in settings affected by armed conflict and crisis, and to put them into practice. Our article explores the dilemmas and tensions faced by four graduate students and a supervisor across diverse international settings. For some of us, these are places we call home, for others these are places that provide refuge to our people: Afghanistan, Jordan, Lebanon and India. We seek to deepen standard understandings of ethics as institutionalised in university forms, arguing that tidy checklists for safety and risk mitigation do not adequately address the complex affective and socio-political struggles permeating research, and the bodies of researchers, in these settings. Our main focus here is on how we can synthesise our various experiences in order to offer something of value to others who may be about to go into the field in settings affected by armed conflict and crisis. The question that we address, then, is: how can researchers avoid the limitations, obfuscations and silences of traditional institutional ethics in order to adopt a situated, embodied, post-abyssal research ethic that might open up new spaces for emotion, encounter, and engagement with struggle, risk and voicing? We use an autoethnographic approach that enables congruence with the aims of this article, and that supports our aspirations for enhanced impact through powerful narrative. We end with discussion that contains suggestions for institutions, supervisors, researchers, and for funding and professional bodies.

冲突和危机环境下教育研究中的后深渊伦理：来自该领域的故事

本文大量借鉴了 Boaventura de Sousa Santos 的后深渊哲学，以便将在受武装冲突和危机影响的环境中研究伦理学的新思维方式理论化，并将其付诸实践。我们的文章探讨了四名研究生和一名主管在不同国际环境中面临的困境和紧张局势。对于我们中的一些人来说，这些地方是我们称之为家的地方，而对于其他人来说，这些地方是为我们的人民提供庇护的地方：阿富汗、约旦、黎巴嫩和印度。我们寻求加深对大学形式制度化的道德标准理解，认为安全和风险缓解的整洁清单并不能充分解决在这些环境中渗透到研究和研究人员团体的复杂情感和社会政治斗争。我们在这里的主要重点是如何综合我们的各种经验，以便为可能即将在受武装冲突和危机影响的环境中进入该领域的其他人提供一些有价值的东西。那么，我们要解决的问题是：研究人员如何避免传统制度伦理的局限性、混淆和沉默，以便采用一种可能为情感、遭遇和交流开辟新空间的情境化、具身化、后深渊研究伦理？参与斗争、冒险和发声？我们使用一种自主民族志方法，该方法能够与本文的目标保持一致，并支持我们通过强有力的叙述增强影响力的愿望。我们以包含对机构、主管、研究人员以及资助和专业机构的建议的讨论结束。
