In this article, Frederic Vobbe and Katharina Kärgel reflect on their experiences researching
mediatized sexualised violence against children and adolescents through the lens of research ethics.

In the book chapter entitled „Die Betroffenheit von Forschenden als forschungsethische Herausforderung in partizipativ-wissenschaftlichen Kontexten zu sexualisierter Gewalt in Kindheit und Jugend“ we reflect on our own experiences researching mediatised sexualised violence against children and adolescents through the lens of research ethics. In doing so, we consider first and foremost the impact on the researcher. Ultimately, working with thissubject may conjure painful memories of a researcher’s own negative experiences (Poelchau et al. 2018: 1004).
