| An Introduction to Social Research Ethics | |
| Summary: | This course will cover most of the basic principles of research ethics with the aim of stimulating and sustaining ethical awareness in social researchers. It will draw upon the experiences of researchers and issues brought to the workshop for discussion. Ethical dilemmas will be aired as well as some solutions suggested. The nature of the governance and ethics review process will be outlined together with some strategies for dealing with it. |
| Objectives: | The aim is for participants to be better informed about contemporary issues in research ethics and research governance so that researchers’ ability to take ethical decisions about their research involvements is enhanced and so that they will be better prepared for successful ethical review. Drawing on two major sources – the SRA Guidelines and Iphofen (2009) Ethical Decision-Making in Social Research – the workshop will offer useful sources of information, guidance and advice for ongoing ethical mentoring during the course of research projects; and provide an opportunity to test out problematic ethical issues and concerns in a supportive environment. |
This is a half-day course available at £130 for non-members and £90 for members.
