Upcoming FIRE Talks

Ethics and Dissemination

What role do ethics play in academic research, practice and dissemination? How can and should academics and grad students disseminate their work? How do we work with 'at risk' communities ethically, including sharing the outcomes of such work within those communities? Is it ethical to publish in journals that the subjects of that research will never be able to access? Is there a difference between ethical behaviour as defined by academic ethics and as defined by common sense? How do we ‘translate’ academic knowledge to the broader public? What are the benefits, hazards and risks of disseminating controversial work? How important should ‘academic status’ be in determining effective ways to disseminate our research? Should all journals be ‘open-access’? Join us for the last FIRE Talk of the semester on the 21st of March!
