Abstract

The past decade has seen increased attention paid to the ethical complexities of educational research undertaken in sensitive or ‘fragile’ settings, where trauma, marginalisation and socio-political precarity are prevalent. Yet, despite increased awareness of micro-ethical issues encountered in the field, there is limited research that engages with these issues from the perspective of higher degree research (HDR) students, and few studies that focus on supervisory practices to promote micro-ethical reflexivity. Here, we draw on interviews with HDR students and supervisors researching in the fragile context of forced migration and related settings of conflict and crisis, exploring issues of gendered violence, sexuality, cultural and linguistic marginalisation, and mental and physical well-being, to explore their experiences with micro-ethical complexities in fieldwork. We consider student and supervisor sense of preparedness to engage reflexively with micro-ethical challenges and identify key supports for navigating ethics-related dilemmas. Importantly, in exploring gaps in extant supports, we consider issues of individual, collective and institutional responsibility regarding HDR student and supervisor engagement with micro-ethics, posing key questions about duty of care for novice researchers working in fragile or sensitive contexts.

在敏感或 "脆弱 "的环境中,攻读高级学位的研究生和导师如何把握教育研究的实践伦理?
在过去十年中,人们越来越关注在敏感或 "脆弱 "环境中开展教育研究的伦理复杂性,在这些环境中,创伤、边缘化和社会政治不稳定等问题普遍存在。然而,尽管人们越来越意识到这一领域所遇到的微观伦理问题,但从高等学位研究(HDR)学生的角度来探讨这些问题的研究却很有限,而且很少有研究关注督导实践,以促进微观伦理反思。在此,我们通过对在被迫移民的脆弱环境及相关冲突和危机背景下开展研究的高等学位研究学生和督导的访谈,探讨了性别暴力、性、文化和语言边缘化以及身心健康等问题,以探索他们在实地工作中面对微观伦理复杂性的经验。我们考虑了学生和督导在反思性地应对微观伦理挑战方面的准备情况,并确定了应对伦理相关困境的关键支持。重要的是,在探索现有支持的差距时,我们考虑了有关人类发展研究学生和导师参与微观伦理的个人、集体和机构责任问题,提出了有关在脆弱或敏感环境中工作的新手研究人员的照顾责任的关键问题。
