Title: Social Sciences Research Ethics Slam
Date: Thursday, 8th of November 2012, 10.00am – 12.00
Venue: University College Cork 
 
A workshop for social science researchers, hosted by ISS21 and the Study of Religions department. Focusing on:
The Public Use of Private Data?

• Re-use, archiving and/or destruction of data
• Ethical dilemmas and contradictions in ‘best practice’ guidance
• Should empirical data be destroyed on project completion?
• Should empirical data be made available for re-use and re-analysis?

 
Researchers are invited to give very short (max 7 minutes) presentations on the challenges they have encountered in relation to these questions in their own empirical, field-work based research in different social science disciplines. The presentations will provide the platform for an interdisciplinary workshop discussion on these ethical issues and on contradictions in ‘best practice’ guidance and policy.
 
Further info: Please contact Lidia (l.guzy@ucc.ie) and Caitríona (c.nilaoire@ucc.ie) with offers of short presentations for this workshop. It is hoped that this might form the basis for a series of social sciences research ethics workshops on different themes.
 
 

Timescapes Conference: The Craft of Qualitative Longitudinal Research
Wednesday, 20th January 2010, 9am-5pm
Cardiff School of Social Sciences, Glamorgan Building
 
Cardiff School of Social Sciences is holding a one day conference which provides an opportunity to consider research that takes a qualitative, longitudinal approach to researching families, relationships and identities-in the-making. The Conference theme will be around the craft of Qualitative Longitudinal Research. This event is being held in collaboration with the ESRC Timescapes Study, which is exploring the ways in which personal and family relationships unfold over time and through the life course, and how those relationships shape who we are.  The conference will be of particular interest to those who wish to hear about cutting edge research that is developing and showcasing the use of qualitative longitudinal methodologies and methods, and the principles and practices of temporal research.  See the conference website at:
