Description

Summary

This reading group session will explore strategies for facilitating the sensitive and ethical inclusion and representation of “vulnerable” individuals in articles, books and conference presentations. Questions will include:

• What are our responsibilities as ethical researchers during the writing and dissemination process? 
• Why is ‘othering’ an issue in research and how does it relate to ‘power’?
• What approaches can we use to resist othering and thereby improve our representations of “vulnerable” research participants? What are the limitations of these approaches?
