This orientation, as a methodological stance, goes beyond reflexivity and practices a refusal to engage in <strong>damage-centred research</strong>. Drawing from a broad theoretical and conceptual literature within the contexts of forced migration, this short essay expands the current literature focusing on procedural ethics by offering a more humanizing methodology for conducting research with migrant and refugee youth during the COVID-19 pandemic.</p> ER -
