May 26

Written By IWPR

How to work in contexts where access to information is severely limited.

WEBINAR DESCRIPTION

Denise Ajiri focuses her talk on how one can work around the restrictions that government’s place on their work in closed and repressed societies in order to complete their investigation. While she covers the basics of collecting data, working with it, and publishing it, the main focus of Ajiri’s talk is to give people an idea of how they can continue doing their work when their access to data is severely limited.
