The College Research Ethics Committee has developed new Research Governance Policy and Procedures for Ethical Review, which has been approved by the College Executive Committee.
The Research Governance Policy document is designed to ensure that all research carried out by staff and students of the College, and specifically that involving human participants, is of a high quality and meets requirements for ethical standards. The CASS policy is designed to meet the requirements of the various funders of arts, humanities and social science research, and considers guidance from relevant professional associations as well as conforming to University policy and guidelines.
As part of the new process, an online system is being developed to allow for ethical review to be carried out more effectively and efficiently. Additional information on this system will be available in due course. In the meantime, please complete the current form and forward it to your School Director of Research.
In March 2011, the College was fortunate to welcome Professor Richard Jenkins who presented a public lecture entitled "Towards Sustainable Research Ethics."
Richard Jenkins is Professor of Sociology at the University of Sheffield, where he is also chair of the University Research Ethics Committee. Trained as an anthropologist at the Queen's University of Belfast and the University of Cambridge, he has undertaken field research in Northern Ireland, England, Wales and Denmark. Among his recent publications are Foundations of Sociology (Palgrave, 2002), Social Identity (3rd edition, Routledge, 2008), Rethinking Ethnicity (2nd edition, Sage, 2008) and Being Danish (Museum Tusculanum Press, 2011).
The text of Professor Jenkins' lecture is available here and the associated slides can be found here.
