QualLAB ethics in qualitative research panel

Today’s QUAL-Lab was a panel discussion of ethics in qualitative research. I was joined by Ann Allen (Educational Studies) and Weidong Li (Human Sciences). Bakari Lumumba (Educational Studies) hosted the event, which was part of a series of lunches that offer information about an important qualitative topic such as anti-racist research designs, ethics in ethnographic research, how to obtain grants with a qualitative design, and more. You can register for future QualLab events, including the Unapologetic Educational Research: Addressing Anti-Blackness, Racism and White Supremacy series at https://u.osu.edu/quallab/events/.
