The context of violence and impunity that currently exists in Mexico is setting in motion new methodological and epistemological challenges for social anthropology and more specifically legal anthropology. At the methodological level, long-term fieldwork in regions affected by violence brings multiple dangers to researchers and students. This forces us to seek collective research strategies from interdisciplinary teams that work collaboratively with civil society organizations. In this article, I would like to share some of the challenges and achievements that we are having in the Mexican to develop a socially committed investigation in the context of multiple violence.
