| This course explores the ethical dimensions of conducting research and producing knowledge in a context of inclusive and sustainable
development. Students will explore the cultural, methodological and ethical challenges of conducting research in vulnerable
communities, using concepts of positionality, difference, identity and intersectionality to understand the ways in which they
might engage in a mutually-respectful process of research and engagement. The course provides a broad survey of research methods
including documentary, observational, qualitative, and quantitative approaches, exploring their key characteristics, strengths
and weaknesses and ethical implications of producing knowledge for development.
