Lecture: “The Ethics of Social Science Research in the Real World” by Bill Kabasenche
November 13, 2024 @ 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm
The research that Priya Fielding-Singh did for “How the Other Half Eats” is an example of social science research conducted out in the real world, rather than in a lab. What are the ethical parameters of this type of research? What do researchers owe their subjects in such studies? How should we think about research that might actually change things in the world? And what is the difference between social science research and programs that do intend to change things in the world? These are the sorts of questions we’ll consider, using a variety of examples of actual social science research studies and considering them in the light of current research ethics standards and regulations. Bill Kabasenche is a faculty member in Philosophy, and is the Director of Ethics Education for the Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine. Hosted by the WSU Pullman Common Reading Program both in-person on the Pullman campus and via Zoom. Zoom link: https://wsu.zoom.us/j/95844653140
