Methodologies (in) Conversation: Session 4 – Ethics & Care in Research

Our fourth session will address the role, necessity, and impact of both ethics and care in all stages of research. What are good ethical practices and non-ethical practices in research? What are the differences and overlaps in ethical considerations between working empirically or theoretically? How do we care for the people we do research on/with/for and for ourselves as researchers? These are some of the questions that may be approached.
