Qualitative Ethics in Practice - Developing Qualitative Inquiry Martin Tolich 1st edition

Neither ethics committees nor qualitative researchers can predict the types of ethical dilemmas that will happen in the field, only that they will routinely occur. In Qualitative Ethics in Practice, a team of fifteen top researchers from various disciplines and nationalities offer ethical strategies unique to qualitative researchers for those "big ethical moments" beyond what can be predicted by ethics committees. Ideally structured for qualitative classes that tackle ethics issues, the book

-calls for an ethical code unique to the practice of qualitative research;

-uses a variety of cases from education, community development, tourism, family, and other settings to examine how researchers addressed ethical dilemmas in practice, including the infamous Belfast Project;

-highlights some relevant models and programs being developed that may lead to solutions.
