Subject: ESRC - Ethical Issues in Participatory Research: A Co-learning
event

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.
