The Only Way is Ethics Conference: Reflecting on and learning from research after ethical approval

The Only Way is Ethics: Reflecting on and learning from research after ethical approval This flagship ethics event is for the researcher community at York St John University!  It is being run in association with the Participatory Enquiry, Action Research and Democratic Methodologies Research Group and the Institute for Social Justice. The conference will take place on campus on Friday 22nd March from 10am - 3pm in the Creative Centre Auditorium, CC001 and Temple Foyer.  Ethics – after the form Often there is emphasis on “getting ethical approval” yet we rarely hear about what ethical issues were raised in research after approval.

Using gatekeepers to recruit and manage participants

Using gatekeepers to recruit and manage participants

This session forms part of the CPD programme (research) for York St John University staff for the academic year 2023-24. This session is aimed at staff whose research is people-centred and supervisors of PGRs doing people-centred research. The term 'gatekeeper' can be interpreted in several ways and some new to research find this can be a confusing concept. This session is intended to pool experience around using gatekeepers, to explore the meaning given to the term and to examine the benefits and pitfalls of introducing third parties into your relationships with participants.

Facilitator: Dr Sharon Jagger When: Wednesday 31 January 2024 from 12:30 - 1:30pm   Where: Online via Teams meeting (a meeting link will be sent to you a few days before the session)   How to book: Use this link to Forms to book your place on the session...
