Webinar: Research Ethics in Practice

February 16, 2021 3703

Ethical research involves much more than a pre-study review or forms to explain how the study adheres to the institution’s rules about protection of human participants. This free webinar will feature a cross-cultural conversation about two key questions: How do I identify critical ethical issues for my research? How can I respond in a practical way to ethical issues as they arise?  

Cheryl Poth raises these questions in her Little Quick Fix: Research Ethics book, while Natalia Reinoso Chavez has lived them in her research, and research supervision, in a complex and fraught setting.

Sponsored by our sister site, MethodSpace, as part of its MethodSpace Live webinar series, this event occurs on Wednesday, March 10 at 11 am EST or your time zone.

Research ethics will be the focus for MethodSpace in March, and you will find the unfolding series of original posts, interviews, and resources here.
