Follow the Yellow (Lego) Brick Road to Ethical Research
Workshop Host: Dr Karen Kenny, University of Exeter
Date: 5th July 2024
Time:n 10:00am
Location: The Forum - Seminar Room 01 /Forum
Abstract: This interactive workshop will use the Lego® Serious Play® (LSP) method to develop ideas for an ethical framework which could support PGRs and ECRs as they work through the ethical implications of their research.. Participants will work both individually and collaboratively, through a serious of challenges. These challenges will be devised to lead towards the overarching objective of the session “to highlight the value of adopting an ethical stance at all stages of the research process”.
The facilitator will set build challenges, and participants will be given a brief time to build a model representing their response to the challenges. upon completion of the task, participants will be asked to share the story of their own model, and the group will collectively explore each model, before reflecting upon what has been created and seeking deeper insights. As the workshop progresses the participants work through development of Lego skills via various new challenges, using bricks as metaphors and storytelling before addressing the development of the ideal tutoring structure.
Outcome of workshop: By the end of this workshop participants will have collaboratively developed their understanding of what an ethical framework could look like. Through discussion, they will have appraised options, and identified ideas which they can then apply to their own contexts.
Panel Discussions
We are excited to announce our upcoming Research Ethics Panel Discussion scheduled for July 2024, featuring a diverse range of expert speakers. Among them is an industry professional with extensive experience in high-risk ethical decision-making, particularly in international collaborations. Formerly a detective in a specialised unit, their insights into applying ethical principles in challenging environments promise to provoke insightful discussion.
Also joining us is an education academic with unique perspectives gained through interactions with medical professionals. Her experiences navigating ethical dilemmas in medical decision-making, especially concerning decisions that may not align with familial interests, provide a thought-provoking perspective on ethical considerations in practice.
This interactive session invites attendees to engage in dynamic exchanges with our panellists, exploring real-world challenges and innovative ethical solutions. Whether you're a student, faculty member, or an interested member of the public, we welcome you to join us for this enlightening discussion on research ethics.
Stay tuned for further details on how to participate and interact with our panellists. Save the date and be part of this important dialogue.
