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.
