ABSTRACT
Ethical questions that arise in the research presented have challenged, and changed, the way we think, incorporate and explore ethics in research. The domain of ethical practice must lie centrally with the researcher in negotiation with their research participants: the cultural and political context of our research creates both the challenges and the answers. Mitra and McCormick’s article introduces the reader to ethical challenges faced in their Youth Participatory Action Research. Sinha’s paper foregrounds ethical considerations when researching with indigenous groups, specifically, identifying dilemmas that arose when working alongside Sabar communities of Jharkhand, India. In Sinha’s research with the indigenous, the marginalised voice, and particularly with children in multiple disadvantages, she explores the ‘ethics of engaging’ with children and youth. Jadue Roa investigates the ethical issues she faced when involving five- to seven-year-old children who were transitioning from kindergarten to first grade in Chile.
