Last weeks contributions continue to stretch our thinking and knowledge about research methods. Many of you are spanning the quantitative – qualitative divide in your readings.
Add topics as you wish, however, if anyone has been reading in the area of ethics I’d be interested in your contributions. How do you feel research ethics may impact your choice of method? Are some methods easier to deploy as we might perceive less ethical implications? Do we have a set standard for ethical decisions? Ethics is a sensitive area and in this discussion may touch on personal views of others.
