This workshop, organised by CREAN aims to explore the specific ethical questions that arise in research with children in the Social Sciences.
The first part of the workshop will introduce and discuss key concepts and open a dialogue on their concrete application in social science and humanities research. In the second part, participants will be invited to share their own experiences and identify the ethical dilemmas they have encountered.
The final part of the webinar will examine the notions of utility, intentionality, and the effects of research with children and young people. How can we ensure that research does not reproduce forms of domination or silence children’s voices during or through the research process? In what ways can the academic ecosystem generate, perpetuate, but also address or mitigate some of the dilemmas that arise in research with children?
The workshop will draw on theoretical contributions as well as real and fictional case studies. It encourages critical reflection and exchange, and may also inspire future collaborative and transdisciplinary work.
