Session: Research for Social Justice: Moving Ethics Forward

Time: Wednesday 6th July, 11:15 - 12:45

Convenor:

Dr Helen Kara (Independent Researcher, and Visiting Fellow at NCRM)

Abstract Details

Ethical regulation of research has traditionally focused on participant wellbeing, data management, and reducing institutional risk. Also, most ethical review processes are only available to a sub-set of researchers based in some organisations. This session argues that research governance needs a more comprehensive and equitable approach, and that researchers need better education to help us act ethically throughout. We begin with an overview of research for social justice, consider work in New Zealand to make ethical review available for community-based researchers, and look at the wider ethical issues raised by participatory visual research.
