Research Ethics
Develop moral argumentation skills in relation to research ethics. This workshop aims to help develop your skills in identifying the ethical issues that play into research, and will familiarize you with a structured sequence for arriving at ethically sound decisions in all stages of research.
Description
Develop moral argumentation skills in relation to research ethics
Ethical dilemmas may arise in all stages of the research process, ranging from stating your research objective, through data collection and analysis, to reporting and publishing your findings. Based on real-life cases (including your own), (interactive) videos, ethical guidelines, and relevant articles, the objective of this workshop is not so much to teach you about the theory of ethics, but rather to provide you with a hands on approach to adequately resolving the ethical dilemmas that you are likely to come across during the course of your career as a scientist. Specifically, this workshop aims to help develop your skills in identifying the ethical issues that play into research, and will familiarize you with a structured sequence for arriving at ethically sound decisions. Finally, we will address the questions of whether and how to pick your battles and how to develop your moral courage on an ongoing basis.
Although the course will rely on supporting materials, such as ethics guidelines, and relevant articles from the extant literature, specific emphasis will be placed on the (anonymized) ethical issues that participants themselves have encountered. In doing so, the course seeks to cover a broad range of issues ranging from human subjects research (non-maleficence) to publication ethics and authorship credit. This course is aimed at active researchers (regardless of disciplinary background and career stage) who are committed to successfully navigating the ethical dilemmas they may encounter in their day to day activities.
Preparation needed:
In order to prepare for this course we ask participants to prepare 2 anonymous cases (using a structured format that will be announced prior to the course), a selection of which will serve as a basis for discussions during the online meetings. Preparations for the second online day include a brief presentation in which participants are asked to reflect on their identity and personal values vis-à-vis ethics in research.
Course Format: Live, Online
The course will be held on Zoom. Participants will be emailed a link to the course at least one day before the start of the course.
