Research Ethics and Methodological Challenges in Anthropology

This first cycle of roundtables aims at discussing ethical issues in anthropology by using the anthropology of reproduction and medical anthropology as privileged lenses to highlight research ethics and methodological challenges at the core of our discipline. Each roundtable will be organized on several themes related to different research stages: (1) before, (2) during, (3) after ethnographic fieldworks.

After the panel speakers conclude their presentations [each speaker will have a 10-minute time slot], the floor is opened for active participation from all the participants. The roundtable format is designed to promote a dynamic discussion where diverse perspectives can be shared and explored to deepen the understanding of ethical considerations within anthropology at large.
