PGR Essentials: Introduction to ethics
You can not collect any new data from humans, animals, social media or conduct auto-ethnographic research without having received ethics approval beforehand, so at this early stage of your postgraduate research, it is essential to understand the ethics approval process.
This workshop will look at the key principles of undertaking ethical research, and explain how to go about obtaining ethical approval from the University. There will also be opportunities to consider some case studies, ask questions about your own work, and gain insights on how to embed good ethical practices in your research.
Learning outcomes
By the end of the workshop you will:
- Understand the University process for gaining ethical approval and received guidance on how to make a strong application
- Have had the opportunity to discuss ethical issues arising in your research and explored how to address them
Target audience
Postgraduate researchers in the early stages of their research degree and from all disciplines.
Workshop theme
