Do Better Research S1 E2: Conducting Ethical Research

In this episode, we will be talking about research ethics. We’ll be speaking Fiona Ellis, co-founder of the Survivors in Transition (https://survivorsintransition.co.uk/), a Suffolk-based charity who support men and women who have experienced sexual abuse in childhood. As you can imagine, Fiona has a range of ethics experience, not only from her role within SITS, but also as a member of the University of Suffolk institutional ethics committee. We also speak to Dr Will Thomas (https://willt486.github.io/), associate professor of the Suffolk Business School, about his research and the importance he places on an embedded approach to ethics.
