Abstract

In this paper, we explore the vulnerability of researchers who represent the groups that have been targeted for this most recent wave of White nationalism. Further, we wonder about the lack of guidance from institutions at the IRB and other levels to protect researchers from harassment, particularly when engaging on research topics where their intersecting identities have the potential to make them targets for microaggression.
