Finding Your Ethical Research Self

“Finding Your Ethical Research Self is engaging and effective, avoiding a dry conceptual approach to key issues, instead, bringing the topic ‘alive’. Student feedback was very positive, suggesting they found the book’s workshops to be highly effective in addressing key tenets of qualitative research ethics facilitating their learning.” – Dr Mark Falcous, Senior Lecturer, School of Physical Education, Otago University, New Zealand

“The workshop gave students a rich opportunity to discuss real-life dilemmas that qualitative researchers typically experience. It also turned out to be a valuable experience to engage with a set of essential principles for those who do qualitative research, such as belonging to a reference group, within which researchers can reflect on and discuss ethical issues inherent to research.” – Dr. António Pedro Costa, University of Aveiro, Portugal
