This Research Ethics Conversation Series is jointly convened by Trinity College Dublin and the University of Galway. We seek to bring together an interdisciplinary community of inquiry to engage in exploratory conversations about new and/or difficult, thorny issues in research ethics, as identified by researchers working in the field as well as those engaged in research ethics oversight and other relevant areas of higher education practice. We believe in creating this communal space for those interested in the broad field of research ethics across multiple disciplines, as a key issue we see is the lack of a safe space for dialogue between researchers and ethics committees on emerging ethics topics, where there is yet to be a well-founded consensus, and where diverse stakeholders with different perspectives and traditions need to have their voices heard and listened to. We strongly believe that research ethics should be open, inclusive, and pluralistic, and to be broadly discussed and deliberated amongst practitioners and policymakers. We are interested in facilitating a space for discourse and reflection among those keen to push forward the progress of research ethics through both critique and consensus.
