Mom, Dad, and the Research Object: The Ethics of Conducting Research Based on Your Own Children's Everyday Life
Matthiesen, Noomi; Szulevicz, Thomas
Anthropology & Education Quarterly, v49 n3 p329-339 Sep 2018
Doing research into the everyday lives of one's own children allows for a unique in-depth insight into the complexities of educational life. This article discusses the ethical dilemmas of this kind of research including issues of power, consent, emotional involvement, objectivity, and researcher positioning, arguing that research is always a risk-filled endeavor requiring vigilant ethical astuteness and moment-to-moment judgments, which are particularly radicalized when doing research with intimate others such as one's children.
