A big congratulations to Rebecca Littman for being awarded an NSF award on her project “Asking about Violence: Improving Ethics in Violence Research.”
This project will investigate the impact on research participants and staff of participating in research about violence. The goal of the project is to inform and facilitate ethical decision-making in research that involves asking about violence. The project will result in the development of a best-practices handbook that combines data and practical suggestions to minimize harm and maximize benefits for participants when conducting research on political violence. The project will build a network of scholars and practitioners for advancing ethical practices across research sites, as well as a training module for graduate students on ethical considerations for research on political violence. The project will yield a useful resource for researchers, educators, ethicists, policy makers, and public and private organizations.
