ESRC Panel
Session: 45 – Wedneday 7th July PM (14.00 – 17.30)
Title: The ethical issues of e-research
Name: Annamaria Carusi, University of Oxford
Abstract
E-social sciences are becoming increasingly entrenched as ways of carrying out social science. The computational methods of e-social science are not mere technical artefacts, but come with their own methodological and value assumptions. What are these assumptions? How can ethical reflection be incorporated into the methodologies of e-social science? What are the different ways of being ethical or manifesting ethical concerns that the e-social sciences open up? This session aims to provide an opportunity for discussion on these and related questions.
We are also launching an online debate ‘Towards an Ethics Manifesto in e-Research’.
