How to conduct ethical research in the social sciences
October 28 | 17:00 | Registration »

Conducting research with people often involves complex ethical questions that don’t always fit neatly into traditional research ethics frameworks. In the social sciences, researchers may work in sensitive settings, with vulnerable populations, or in contexts where formal ethics approval is not always available or appropriate. Sage’s new research ethics policy recognizes these realities and promotes a more thoughtful, context-sensitive approach to ethical research.

In this webinar, designed for early career researchers and anyone conducting research involving human participants, our expert panel will explore the practical ethical considerations that arise throughout the research process. Through real-world examples and discussion, you’ll learn how to identify and address ethical challenges, navigate issues such as consent, privacy and confidentiality, and demonstrate ethical practice in your research and publications. The session will also include an opportunity to ask questions and gain practical guidance for conducting and publishing high-quality, ethical social science research.
