015384 Issues in Indigenous Social Research Ethics

6cp
Postgraduate
Subject coordinator: Jennifer Newman

This subject explores issues surrounding social research ethics where research involves indigenous communities. It aims to develop in students a deeper understanding and appreciation of the goals which indigenous communities might wish to achieve when they initiate or agree to participate in research. Students are made aware of the impact of research upon indigenous communities through exposure to issues such as indigenous intellectual and cultural property rights, responsibilities and custodianship in relation to cultural heritage and the concept of collective ownership. The history and nature of the participation of indigenous and non-indigenous peoples within the area of social research is explored as a means of providing an informed context for contemporary research partnerships.
