Commissioned Inquiry - Risk to well-being of researchers in qualitative
research
Call for Evidence
Submissions/evidence are invited as part of an inquiry into risks to the
well-being of researchers in qualitative research. Those persons submitting
evidence may wish to draw our attention to lessons to be learned from
experience. We are interested in submissions based on the experiences of
researchers, research supervisors, members of ethics committees and anyone else
involved in any aspect of the conduct and management of qualitative research.
Submissions may embrace practical, regulatory and/or ethical issues and risks
may include threats to mental/emotional health as well as exposure to physical
hazards. The Inquiry is being conducted as part of the activities being
undertaken by 'Qualiti', the Cardiff Node of the UK Economic and Social Research
Council's National Centre for Research Methods. The inquiry aims to collate and
analyse accounts of qualitative research where issues of risk may have been
present and publish recommendations based on the evidence gathered.
Moderated Forum
Evidence for the inquiry will be gathered via a moderated web-based forum. On
this forum contributors will be asked to submit evidence under one of four topic
themes. This evidence will then be placed on the website in an appropriate topic
stream. It is anticipated that aside from gathering evidence this will also
generate online discussion around issues arising from evidence. Please visit our
website http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/socsi/qualiti/commissioned_inq_2.html for
further details and follow the link to the submissions page.
