Session Information
ERG SES D 03, Network Workshop: Network 25 (Research on Children's Rights in Education)
Network Workshop
Contribution
This workshop will engage delegates in a lively, informative discussion about the meaning, scope and challenge of ‘ethics’ in the design and execution of educational research. The central aim is to stimulate critical thinking about ethics and ethical deliberation from a children’s rights perspective and the workshop will focus on the way in which children’s rights discourse provokes us to think and practice differently when undertaking research with children.
The presenters bring a wide and varied interdisciplinary and international expertise to this subject; however, as members of EERA Network 25, they share a commitment to children’s rights in their research practice. During the workshop they will share their experiences of attempting to practice ethically in their research with children, highlighting some of the difficulties and challenges they have encountered and how they have sought to overcome them.
The workshop will begin with a brief contextualisation of the subject, highlighting some of the theoretical, epistemological and ontological debates that currently inform our understanding of what it means to conduct ethical research with children.
• Debates about the nature and status of ‘the child’ and ‘childhood’
• Debates about how ‘research’ is conceptualised, categorised and practiced
• Debates about the role and function of official research governance structures (ethics committees; ethical protocols etc.)
