Watch the Webinar: Equitable Research Partnerships

While in the past we needed to travel in order to conduct international research, today we can bridge borders with a click. However, designing, planning, conducting, and publishing international research in an ethical and respectful way is not so simple! Methodspace hosted four members of the Research Ethics journal’s editorial board for a candid and informative discussion about ethical challenges and opportunities for international research.

Dr. Syntia Nchangwi, Dr. Doris Schroeder, Dr. Samuel Ujewe and Dr. Charles Weijer.

Doris Schroeder is Director of the Centre for Professional Ethics at the UCLan School of Sport and Health Sciences, UK. She is the lead author of Global Code of Conduct for Research in Resource-Poor Settings. See links to additional writings below.
