Description:
Ethical research is better quality research. This one day online course (taught over two mornings) is designed to raise your awareness of why and how you need to think and act ethically in practice throughout your research work. The current system of ethical review by committee can lead to the misleading sense of having 'done ethics'. This course shows you how to conduct research which is truly ethical. It also provides the opportunity for discussion of your own ethical dilemmas, if you wish.
The course covers:
Research ethics in context - ethical breaches past and present, ethics dumping, ethics activism
Potential ethical pitfalls at each stage of the research process, from question setting to aftercare
How to think and act ethically through research
By the end of the course participants will:
Recognise the importance of context for ethical decision-making
Understand why they need to think and act ethically throughout research work
Be clearer about potential ethical pitfalls at different stages of the research process
Know how to approach ethical thought and action ay any point of their research
Target audience
Doctoral students. Early career researchers. Any discipline. Also practice-based/applied researchers. Possibly government researchers too, and independent researchers.
