ABSTRACT

Thompson interrogates how the research community might benefit from identifying social justice-based ethical and moral concerns as essential elements, rather than incidental obstacles, to the work of research. That is to ask: by what research practices might culturally responsive research be advanced and, by extension, how might scholars be prepared for doing that work in meaningful ways? This charge will be identified as an explicitly educational question in that it focuses on a few normative (i.e., concerning what should be done) dimensions of a particular curriculum for researchers, specifically framed as: Must an Education in Research Ethics Engage Issues of Context, Culture, and Community?
