HC 2610 - Introduction to Ethical Research and Creative Activity
This course introduces students to fundamental principles of ethical research and creative activity. Students are asked to reflect on their perceptions of how research and creative activity contribute to new knowledge and insights, encouraged to interrogate the factors that influence those perceptions, and challenged to expand their understanding of how individuals can ethically contribute to these endeavors through a multidisciplinary perspective. Through this process of self-reflection and peer discussions, students also are challenged to consider ways that their engagement in research/creative activity can be mutually beneficial to themselves, their field, and the greater public. In addition, this class explores the tensions associated with navigating the research/creative process, including interrogating personal, social, and cultural values, applying rigorous, systematic processes, and properly citing/acknowledging others’ works to ensure that the knowledge and insights gained are rigorous, ethical, and contribute to the existing body of knowledge.
