Ethics and Methodologies

Engaging in any academic work with the public, particularly in partnership with and/or in service to, marginalized communities and people, requires rigorous attention to ethics. All work must be carefully considered and planned to ensure that it is in service to the needs of community partners and protective of vulnerable populations. Research and engagement, including from students, must be collaborative, not extractive. Consider the following areas for reflection, guidelines, and resources to enable faculty to develop ethical projects with partners.
