These ethics workshops are run by the NIHR Research Support service and Inspiring Ethics. In these group sessions we help researchers navigate the nitty-gritty of ethical procedures and processes around participatory research.
This session will explore why contracts often reproduce hierarchy rather than protect lived experienced collaborators. We look at co-researcher contracts, university assumptions of “vulnerability” around mental health and lived experience, IP clauses, liability, and when refusing a contract is the ethical choice.
Inspiring Ethics is a collective of researchers, practitioners, and people with lived experience working together to rethink research ethics. We create spaces to explore real-world ethical dilemmas, challenge conventional frameworks, and develop participatory, community-led approaches to ethical practice.
