This document outlines an ethics class discussion on research ethics. It includes an activity where students summarize and discuss news articles on research studies. It also discusses key concepts in research ethics like informed consent and the importance of including diverse voices and perspectives in research. The document provides examples of past ethical issues in research like the Tuskegee Syphilis Study and the Stanford Prison Experiment. It prompts students to consider how they will address ethics in their own research processes and studies.

Who is included in research?What
voices are excluded or marginalized??

10. Whom do we include in our research?
How do we identify relevant stake-holders?
What do we choose to study?
How do we come up with topics, write purpose statements and
hypotheses, and frame research questions?
What measures have we taken to ensure that our language is
appropriate and respectful and reflects sensitivity to cultural
differences?
How do we write up or otherwise represent our research?
How will we think about issues such as authorship and ownership of the
research findings/output?
How will we identify relevant audiences? How do we take status
characteristics into account as we identify relevant audiences?
How will we distribute our findings to relevant audiences?
Will we contribute to public scholarship, and if so, how?
Do we intend to apply our research to a particular group or setting in
pursuit of social change?
Will we attempt to impact public policy, and if so, how?
What is our political or social agenda? (Leavy, pp. 29-30)
