The ethics of how research is shared and used are no less nuanced and important than how it is created. Yet there are relatively few spaces to consider how we as professionals want to embed these in research impact and engagement activity.
This session, led by UCL Public Engagement's Helen Craig, will open up the discussion about what our responsibilities are as research professionals when encouraging people to engage with our work and put our findings into action.
We'll look at the broader context, for example UKRI's Responsible Innovation guidelines, as well as UCL's own frameworks around public engagement and involvement in research. We'll look at how understanding what we are and are not responsible for can empower us to engage with potential partners or collaborators with confidence. Helen will also lead deliberative discussions to articulate our own values as research impact and public engagement practitioners.
By the end of this session, you will be able to:
- Articulate the values you want to embed in your research impact and engagement work
- Identify any barriers to participation or inequities in the impact and engagement activities you have planned and take steps to minimise these
- Draw on a range of models for health research impact and public engagement with inclusion, respect and mutuality at their core
This session is part of the '22-'23 Health and the Public Impact Fellowship development series, supported by the UCL Institute for Epidemiology and Health Care. Training sessions will be held fortnightly on Wednesdays throughout the Autumn and Spring term. See our training pages for full details.
