ABSTRACT

Undergraduate and master’s students frequently conduct independent human subjects research on topics related to political violence and human rights – often, but not always, in the field. This work may involve the direct collection of data from vulnerable populations, in unstable contexts and about sensitive topics. However, despite the rich literature about research ethics, the ethics of advising, enabling and encouraging this type of student research on political violence has been largely overlooked. This article aims to (1) raise awareness about the proliferation of students engaging in human subject research on topics related to political violence and human rights; (2) discuss the risks inherent in this enterprise that are distinct from those that many faculty and doctoral students face; (3) provide suggestions about how to mitigate some of those risks, including a shift away from fieldwork-based research projects. We argue that it is a collective responsibility to require that students engage in ethical practices, including more thoughtful and creative selection of research questions, sites and populations.

改变的时刻:以学生为主导的人类学科伦理研究政治暴力

摘要

本科生和硕士生经常在与该领域有关的政治暴力和人权主题上进行独立的人类研究,但并非总是如此。这项工作可能涉及在不稳定的情况下以及敏感主题下,直接从脆弱人群中收集数据。但是,尽管有关研究伦理学的文献丰富,但在很大程度上指导,指导和鼓励这类学生研究政治暴力的伦理学却被忽略了。本文旨在(1)提高人们对与政治暴力和人权有关的主题进行人类主题研究的学生的意识;(2)讨论该企业固有的风险,这些风险与许多教授和博士生所面临的风险是不同的;(3)提供有关如何减轻其中一些风险的建议,包括从基于实地调查的研究项目转移。我们认为要求学生从事道德实践是一项集体责任,包括对研究问题,研究地点和人群进行更周到和创造性的选择。
