Yet, these interactions often represent a challenge for anthropologist s and qualitative social scientists at large. Procedural requirements diffe r considerably from the processual ethics favoured by the epistemological a pproach of our discipline and we feel that the latter are not given enough institutional credit. This, in turn, leads to misunderstandings and frustra tion on both sides, sometimes loosing track of the common aim which is to p rotect our research participants and ourselves.\n\nThis workshop mainly add ressed to young scholars aims to bring together anthropologists, qualitativ e social scientists and legal scholars working on research ethics to discus s appropriate ways to engage with procedural ethics. On the one hand, we wi sh to address the legal obligations concerning research ethics and how they are taken up by ethics commissions. On the other hand, we plan to discuss how anthropologists can deal with these requirements without betraying the processual ethics that characterises our discipline. To this end, the works hop combines inputs by specialists with spaces to exchange about experience s and to constitute a “reservoir” of good practices.\n\nWorkshop session 1: Legal requirements of anthropological research\n\nThis workshop is a dialo gue between the participants, who have prepared questions/issues in advance , Arthur Zinn-Poget, sociologist and General Secretary at the CER-VD (Canto nal Ethics Committee for the Cantons of Vaud, Fribourg, Valais and Neuchât el), and Paola Juan, an anthropologist and member of the GRED. The point of this workshop is not to provide a comprehensive view of the legal requirem ents for anthropologists on the field, but to discuss the individual and in stitutional legal responsibilities that stem from participants’ research pr ojects, in Switzerland and abroad. It seeks to give clues to the following questions: what are the legal requirements? What room do anthropologists ha ve for manoeuvre? What are the legal and ethical consequences of anthropolo gists’ compliance or refusal towards ethics procedures?\n\nWorkshop session 2: Informed consent in ethnographic fieldwork\n\nInformed consent is a cha llenging ethical concept for anthropologists due to the fluid and often- in formal nature of ethnographic fieldwork. Recent legal developments and ethi cal assessment boards have added a layer of requirements that we must navig ate. In fieldwork, researchers might be confronted with questions like: How can we inform our interlocutors about the purpose of our ethnographic fiel dwork? Should we use written consent forms, or is verbal consent more suita ble in certain research settings? How can we ensure an “ongoing dialogue” o n consent with our interlocutors? What can we do if we do not get consent a t a certain point in the research process? How do we inform participants an d get consent in digital spaces? In this interactive workshop, we criticall y engage with the concept of informed consent in ethnographic fieldwork, ba sed on the situations and issues participants are facing in their own resea rch.\n\nRegistration\n\nRegistration is possible until March 7th using the following link: https://framaforms.org/workshop- research-ethics-in-anthrop ology-which-good-practices-registration-1613578760.\n\nContact\n\nFor any q uestions, please write to paola.juan@unil.ch or wiebke.wiesigel@unine.ch.
