Conference: Have We Become Too Ethical? — Managing vulnerability in human subject research

Over the last two decades ethical review by committee has become compulsory for all UK-funded research involving human subjects. It aims to prevent harm from biomedical research.

Concern: When is ethics review too constrictive and when too permissive?

Aim: To formulate the basis for feasible, fair and effective ethical review at home and in transnational         collaborative research

 

Well-known experts in the field of social science research ethics and research funderswill debate:

  • Contextual factors in ethical review
  • Competence of reviewers of human subject research
  • Informed consent

 

Organised by:

Margaret Sleeboom-Faulkner (m.sleeboom-faulkner@sussex.ac.uk), Department of Anthropology in Sussex and Bob Simpson (robert.simpon@durham.ac.uk), Department of Anthropology, Durham. For administrative information: Linda Allan (Linda.Allan@sussex.ac.uk)
