Above is version 2 of the Ethics form. From our last tutorial, I am now trying to focus this ARP on just one workshop of the Positionality series of workshops I am and have been developing.
feedback from Miriam
Well done Smriti – The colour and narrative texture of your teaching world is so clear. Your ethical thinking here is practical and multi-directional.
1.
There are so many important questions here. The challenge will be what can be dealt with within the boundaries of the project. Even through the activity might be addressing multiple areas, you will need to focus in on the most important or relevant.
2.
I love the narrative power these keywords have together!
It is clear the relationship they have to your subject area, you will just have to stake out the strands within these areas that are most relevant.
Also, because you’ve been working in these subject areas over time, you will have to be careful you don’t get carried away and devote enough reading time to research and method.
3.
Yes – all so interesting. However, you will need to narrow your focus so that you have a manageable amount of data to evaluate the impact of the workshop and what it means in terms of the continuum of your teaching practice.
4.
Good ethically that this is something students are opting into.
5.
The teaching situation you describe here is one you have designed with great sensitivity. Particularly, the briefing points around disclosure – the personal and private distinction.
6.
Good insights around the ethical importance of anonymity and attribution.
7.
Good. And the consideration of the ethical and mutual benefit between colleagues is thorough and thoughtful too.
