Researching LGBTQ+ Communities: openness, ethics and consent | Love Data Week
When:
—
Venue:
Birkbeck Main Building, Malet Street
What ethical implications do researchers working with LGBTQ+ communities need to consider? How do we navigate tensions in the drive to make data open? How do we manage consent in this context?
Birkbeck academics Dr Fiona Tasker (Reader in Psychology) and Ralph Day (doctoral researcher in contemporary history) will discuss their research, and how they work with their potentially sensitive data.
Fiona has published extensively on topics including family relationships, identity development of adults and children, and children's social and emotional development in both non-traditional and new family forms and LGBTQ parenting.
Ralph's current research focuses on queer sexualities and the telephone in Britain from the 1970s to the 1990s through a study of the telephone information and support service London Lesbian and Gay Switchboard.
This event is being organised as part of Love Data Week and as part of the Library's LGBT+ History Month programme.
