Navigating Ethical Dilemmas of Conducting Research with Young Children: Why include children in research?

This series of lunchtime seminars is intended for researchers from a broad range of departments and disciplines to come and discuss why they might include children and young people in their research and how they could go about doing so. The seminars are informed by the latest ethical principles of the university.

• Thursday 30 January 12-1 pm: Why include children in research?
• Thursday 27 February 12-1 pm: Collaboration or exploitation? An introduction to the ethics

The seminars will consist of short presentations and workshop activities to enable participants to identify and explore the ethical opportunities and issues associated with including children in research within their own fields of study.

The seminars may be of interest to academics currently conducting research with children, who are considering the possibility of working with children in the future and for those who supervise students who are conducting research with children.
