A 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.
