This workshop explores questions about how to conduct sociolinguistic research in an ethical fashion. We will discuss current approaches in the field for addressing ethical issues that arise in sociolinguistics research and for evaluating and minimising risk. Topics to be covered will include soliciting consent, ensuring participant confidentiality, protecting data, and developing respectful and ethical relationships with research participants. We will approach these topics by going through a number of case studies and participants will be able to discuss ethical questions in relation to their own research plans.
This workshop is part of the Forum SLS. Registered MA and PhD students receive 0.5 ECTS for attending.
