Research Ethics Workshop

This 3 day workshop has been organised by the Well-being, Health and Communities (WHC) Pathway but is open to all ESRC and non-ESRC funded students within the seven WRDTP institutions regardless of interdisciplinary Pathway. 

These 3 linked workshops are designed to raise your awareness of why and how you need to this and act ethically in practice throughout your research. The current system of ethical review by committee can lead to the misleading sense of having ‘done ethics.’ These workshops will show you how to conduct research which is truly ethical, and demonstrates that ethical research is better quality research. There will also be the opportunity for you to discuss your own ethical dilemmas with peer researchers.

Students will learn to recognise the importance of context for ethical decision-making, understand why ethics are about more than filling in a form, and know how to think and act ethically throughout their research work.

Please note: This workshop consists of 3 sessions, taking place on the 18th, 19th and 20th January 2021 between 10.30am and 12.30pm on all 3 days. It is highly recommended that you ensure you are available on all three dates in order to benefit from this training.
