Accommodating Conflicting Realities: The Messy Practice of Ethical (Self) Regulation
Fletcher, Gillian
International Journal of Social Research Methodology, v20 n3 p275-284 2017
When I began to undertake qualitative PhD research in Myanmar, I found myself caught between the demands of an ethics approval process that required researcher certainty about 'risk', and the reality of a research site where I would be able at best to part-glimpse the risks people faced. I found space to work through holding to the process of critical 'languaging'; paying ongoing attention to power dynamics within interviews while engaging in 'a social process in which we jointly construct realities for each of us to see, occupy and to talk "into"' (emphasis in original). In this article, I reflect on the tensions between ethical process and research practice and argue that researchers should consider critical languaging as an important ethical tool.
