ArtsModules: Ethics Process

Two penguins on a rocky beach with a body of water behind them are being approached by a group of people in an inflatable boat wearing yellow lifejackets. A larger white ship is pictured in the background.

This Q&A Panel will explore Arts Graduate Research concerns related to the Ethics Process. Prior to participating in this session, Graduate Researchers should review the Office of Research Ethics & Integrity Human Ethics web resource, the associated Human Ethics video resource, and this Human Ethics Overview Session with Associate Professor Lauren Rosewarne. Both video resources are available on the Arts Graduate Research LMS site under the Ethics Approval Support Module.

Topics for discussion include:
- Timelines (when must the initial application be lodged? How long does the review process take?)
- Risk assessment (what happens when projects are flagged as high risk but should not have been?)
- Cultural knowledge (what if panels don’t hold sufficient specific cultural knowledge during review?)
- Digital research methods (associated issues and confusion)

Attendees are encouraged to bring along additional Ethics-related questions, and will have the chance to put these questions to our panelists.
