CO:RE Ethics Webinar in cooperation with ySKILLS
Ethical issues arising in comparative and longitudinal research with children
What ethical dilemmas arise when engaging in comparative and longitudinal research with children and young people? How do these dilemmas influence different stages of the research process, including planning, implementation, data sharing, and analysis? What strategies can we use to navigate these dilemmas, and how effective are these?
On Wednesday 9 June, we collaborate with our H2020-funded partner project ySKILLS to organise a webinar about ethical issues arising in comparative and longitudinal research about children and young people’s use of digital media. It will also be of interest to researchers and students working with a broader range of topics.
The webinar will be hosted by Professor Elisabeth Staksrud (University of Oslo, Norway), who will be joined by experts with experience in large-scale comparative and longitudinal research.
