----- Original Message ----- From: Truman, Carole To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Monday, October 20, 2008 10:06 AM Subject: Ethical Issues in Participatory Research 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.
