The Centre for Bionetworking announces a one-day symposium, co-organised with Bob Simpson, Anthropology, University of Durham:
Have We Become Too Ethical? – Managing vulnerability in human subject research
9th November 2015, 10:00 am - 5:15 pm (Coffee and tea available from 9:30)
Over the last two decades ethical review by committee has become compulsory for all UK-funded research involving human subjects. It aims to prevent harm from biomedical research.
Concern: When is ethics review too constrictive and when too permissive?
Aim: To formulate the basis for feasible, fair and effective ethical review at home and
in transnational collaborative research
Well-known experts in the field of social-science research ethics and research funders will debate:
- Contextual factors in ethical review
- Competence of reviewers of human subject research
- Informed consent
Speakers:
Dr Ron Iphofen FAcSS, Independent Research Consultant
Context is (nearly) everything where ethical review is concerned
Adam Hedgecoe, Cardiff University
But we don’t inject green stuff: harm, risk and the organisation of ethics review
Peter Pels, Leiden University
