Long abstract:
This panel asks if issues of confidentiality and informed consent in
ethnographic fieldwork are the same under different constellations of
power. As researchers are incorporated into different relations of power,
they study 'up' and 'down' and sometimes 'together'. In exploring the
effect of power in relation to ethics, we ask 'How should the ethics of
research respond to differences in power and authority between researcher
and research participants?' Do researchers have a responsibility to
recognise the same standards of informed consent for elites as they do for
subordinate groups? If not, under what conditions and in whose interest can
standards be compromised? Lastly, we ask how questions of consent need to
be negotiated in circumstances where potential research participants from
subordinate groups are constrained from informed participation by other
relations of power - such as those in authoritarian societies and conflict
zones?
