Join the Centre for the Study of Global Development at the Open University for this online event to explore some of the practical realities of undertaking research in the field.

In this discursive session, Tom Power and Professor Jacqueline Stevenson will explore some of the practical realities of undertaking research in the field, highlighting the tensions between ‘procedural ethics’ (Guillemin and Gillam, 2004) and practical ethics.

In doing so, they will draw on research in Bangladesh exploring educational outcomes in rural and remote communities, their previous research with forced migrants, including asylum seekers and refugees, and our research in prisons exploring in particular issues around informed consent.

They will highlight some of the decisions we have had to make when seeking to be culturally responsive and adaptive to context but which runs the risk of contravening the ethics approval we have been given at an institutional level.
