Description
The course will provide an overview of the issues arising in research
with human participants, focusing on a broad understanding of informed
consent and autonomy and consider how these can best be respected. It
will explore situations in which duress or lack of understanding might
invalidate consent. The course will be a mixture of interactive lecture
and group work.
Participants will have a better understanding of the ethical issues
arising in research with human participants and be better equipped to
handle issues that might arise in their area of work. They will also
have the opportunity to share experiences and identify sources of
support and guidance.
Feedback from previous participants: “Very involving”.
