Details

Ethnographic and participatory approaches have become central to health and health care research, offering situated insights into how illness experiences, professional practices, institutional logics, and both health related inequalities and structural inequities unfold in everyday contexts. 
These forms of inquiry rely on relational engagement and sustained interaction—conditions in which ethical questions arise dynamically and cannot be fully anticipated through conventional, procedurally oriented ethics frameworks.

This symposium brings together researchers and co-researchers from medical anthropology, qualitative health research, and participatory research to explore ethics as situated practice, process, and relationship. It is participatory in the sense that questions and issues at stake will be discussed with all participants, and that these discussions will serve as a basis for outlining core principles for ethics in practice.
