Participation in an online-workshop on research ethics, organized by the Max-Weber-Institute

On the 12th of April, Judith Müller and Lea Loretta Zentgraf took part in an online workshop on research ethics organised by the Max-Weber-Institute at Heidelberg University. The invited speaker Olaf Tietje (LMU Munich) gave an insight into the following questions:

• How to deal with sensitive data?
• Different levels of empathy with research subjects (e.g. research on right-wing extremist perpetrators and victims)
• What exactly does “anonymity” mean? How can data be anonymised if the sample is very small?
• How can data be stored?
• How do you deal with contradictions between legal regulations and ethical and moral issues?
