An ESRC Workshop for Members of Ethics Committees and Researchers who
undertake Participatory Research
8th - 10th December, Lancaster University
What ethical issues arise in participatory research, and how should they
be addressed?
With support from the ESRC's Researcher Development Initiative this
three day workshop will explore ethical issues which arise in
Participatory approaches to research. The workshop has been designed for
two groups of participants: those who have experience of participatory
approaches to research (either as a researcher, a community /lay
researcher). The workshop will also be of interest to members of
research ethics committees who wish to gain an understanding of
participatory research approaches and insights into the ethical
dimensions of such research.
The workshop will adopt a participatory co-learning approach where
participants will be enabled to 'drill deep' into ethical issues which
arise within participatory research. The three day workshop will
consist of a series of short, 'scene-setting' presentations from
academic and lay researchers in the field who will provide input on
particular aspects of research ethics in participatory research.
Workshop participants will be encouraged to share their own experiences
of participatory research in ways which will provide critical engagement
with ethical issues in participatory research practice. In this way,
the workshops will provide an environment where participants can explore
best practice as well as confront the ethical challenges of
participatory research.
A number of free bursary places are available for unfunded / lay
researchers to attend - please enquire.
The event is convened by Carole Truman, Professor of Health and
Community Studies at the University of Bolton. Further details and
booking information can be obtained from: Sheryl Coultas
