Paper long abstract:
In this paper I will contribute to the panel by reflecting on the specificities of negotiating confidentiality in my recent projects exploring experiences of minoritisation among the Jewish and the Muslims communities of India and the UK. The paper will discuss the way sensitive topics in the study of antisemitism, Islamophobia and Jewish-Muslims relations were addressed during fieldwork and the writing up process by drawing on published literary sources that were representative of the opinions of my interlocutors. The second half of the paper will address the main theoretical theme of this panel by discussing the power dimension of conducting community-engaged fieldwork on a topic of heightened public concern and media visibility.
