BACKGROUND
Field work practitioners are on the frontlines of ethical challenges. On the one hand we are tasked with understanding the full spectrum of life experiences, and on the other, are expected to operate within organisational, legal and moral norms. These challenges are compounded for practitioners operating globally, well beyond their, and their organisation’s belief systems and comfort zones.
Studio D considers our ethical stance as core to our service offering—providing clients with the confidence that we can take on challenging projects, deliver value, whilst doing the “right thing” by our participants and the societies in which they live. We often present data and insights that are considered too ethically challenging to appropriately collect.
We’ve synthesised this learning into a half-day masterclass, where attendees are encouraged to surface and collectively address the ethical issues they face.
OVERVIEW
