> There are still a limited number of places available for the Three Day
> Course on Research Ethics and the Media workshop being held at
> Lancaster University from 17th - 19th March 2008 inclusive: -
> Three Day Course on Research Ethics and the Media
> The traditional mass media, and the increasing use of electronic and
> information technology, all raise issues for the ethical conduct of
> research. At the same time there is pressure on researchers to ensure
> that their findings have an impact beyond their own academic or
> professional community. This event will explore the ethical issues
> around using the media as a research tool and engaging with the media
> to disseminate research. The first day will be led by an experienced
> journalist and expert in media ethics. On Day 2 three researchers will
> focus on research ethics through examples of research using art,
> newspapers, the internet and e-mail. The final day takes a practical
> look at the opportunities and perils of disseminating research. A
> subsequent 'advanced' workshop, later in the programme will be for
> those with greater experience and working knowledge of the field.
