Crash Course in Ethical Frameworks and How to Use Them

Even with a good grasp of how to ensure a research activity complies with prevailing rules and regulations, the gap between compliance and what is ethical may be a source of confusion or anxiety. This workshop will equip attendees with tools to understand and describe ethically relevant features of a project or a situation, to propose and defend ethical courses of action, and to communicate clearly about ethical concerns. Speakers and attendees will practice applying these tools to case studies, and attendees will come away with good, ethical decision-making strategies and useful vocabulary, enabling attendees to go beyond "what do the rules say" and engage with "what would it be ethical to do in this situation?" This session will take place in Zoom meeting. The use of attendee video is encouraged for participation and interaction with your peers.
