AQUALM Reflexivity and doing qualitative research; held online on 26th May 2021
Undertaking reflexive practice when conducting research is considered to be a staple part of the research journey. Yet there are often unique ethical considerations that need to be made when researching stigmatized and hidden populations, both in terms of the safety to participants, but also researchers themselves.
By drawing on her own experiences of researching those involved in sex work and the work of Goffman, Professor Sarah Kingston offers a workshop which considers the ways in which research can spill over into a person’s personal life, and what strategies researchers may need to take in order to protect their mental health and well-being.
