Methods as Ethics

by Annette Markham

 

In this talk, Annette Markham offers alternate vocabularies for talking about ethical research of sensitive topics, or in precarious situations, such as studying death or death online. She offers an impact model for ethics, to help researchers take a proactive, future-oriented approach to research design. She also discusses methods as choices at critical junctures, a framework that shifts the accountability for ethical enactment of methods to the researcher rather than the tools we use or the regulatory disciplinary models we follow.
