Proposes feminist research principles to assist in making informed decisions to address ethical dilemmas that arise in research and teaching.
By addressing ethical dilemmas in a wide range of situations-qualitative research studies, interview studies, studies of classroom practice, studies of student writing, and feminist work-Gesa Kirsch explores some important questions: Can researchers represent the experiences of others without misrepresenting, misappropriating, or distorting their realities? What are researchers' responsibilities toward research participants, students, and readers? What ethical principles can guide researchers when they encounter participants who share highly confidential information or work with institutions who wish to conceal relevant information?
Gesa E. Kirsch is Associate Executive Director of the National Council of Teachers of English and Visiting Associate Professor of English and Writing Studies at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. She is the author of Women Writing the Academy and coeditor of Ethics and Representation in Qualitative Studies of Literacy (with Peter Mortensen); Methods and Methodology in Composition Research (with Patricia A. Sullivan); and A Sense of Audience in Written Communication (with Duane Roen).
