This roundtable offers an interactive, hands-on engagement with the complex issue of ethical research in education. Focusing particularly on the challenges which sometimes arises when researching sensitive topics and/or working with vulnerable groups, the roundtable draws on the theoretical underpinning of ethical behaviour in order to provide students with a practical, yet conceptually solid, understanding of the complex issues involved.
