Читать книгу Doing Ethnographic Research - Kimberly Kirner - Страница 81

In this chapter, we’ll dive into the considerations social science researchers must make when working with human subjects. These considerations arise from a long history of developing ethical codes for our disciplines, some of which were the result of debates in cases where researchers may have conducted unethical research. As a result, there are standards and processes to ensure we do not harm the people we are studying. Our ethical decisions may be the single most important choices we make as researchers and should be carefully considered.

At the end of this chapter, you’ll take the research topic that you developed in Chapter 1 (The Basics of Research Design) and develop both a comprehensive preliminary assessment of risk to your future human subjects and your plan to minimize these risks (integrating ethics with your project).

At the end of Chapter 2, you will be asked to complete a Self- or Peer-Assessment related to Activities 2.5, 2.6, and 2.7.
