There has been an increasing interest in research ethics over the last decade given the increasing ethical regulation of social research. 'Ethical literacy' encourages researchers to understand and engage with the ethical issues that emerge in the process of research. This book provides a short, succinct and accessible overview of the field, highlighting the key issues and everyday ethical dilemmas that researchers are likely to face in different contexts. Covering a range of methods, the book provides clear guidance for researchers on how to identify an approach that fits with their moral and intellectual framework. It explores ethical issues relating to 'traditional' research methods as well as to new and emerging methods and approaches - particularly visual and online methods.
An excellent text - clear, thoughtful and comprehensive. * Janet Boddy, Reader in Child, Youth and Family Studies, University of Sussex, UK *
A well-written accessible introduction to the topic. -- Libby Bishop, Senior Officer Research Data Management, University of Essex, UK
This short book reflects years of experience with qualitative research and presents insights gained from research into ethical approaches. Wiles brings home the point that ethical review is not an exercise like jumping through hoops set out by regulations and once you’ve ticked all the right boxes for the committee you can forget about them and, this is the real benefit of the book, demonstrates how exciting and rewarding the engagement with research ethics is. Research ethic committees may wish to adopt this short book as welcome present to new members. -- Dr. Ulrike Hohmann, Plymouth University, UK
A brilliant and insightful book that explores the ethical aspects of qualitative research. Has been recommended to my students for background reading in order to better understand the ethical concerns of qualitative research. -- Amer Khan Shehzad, University of Central Lancaster, UK
This is a useful introductory text for anyone who is new to qualitative research ethics. It is short, well-structured and clearly written ... I was pleased to see that the risk and safety chapter includes not only risks to participants but also risks to researchers, which often seem to be overlooked ... Overall, though, I think Wiles has done a good job of packing a huge subject into a small container. She recognises that readers are likely to need further information, and provides four pages of useful reading and resources. -- Helen Kara * Social Research Association Research Matters Magazine *
