Researching with Care
What are the implications of caring about the things we research? How does that affect how we research, who we research with and what we do with our results? Proposing what Joan C. Tronto has called a ‘paradigm shift’ in research thinking, this book invites researchers across disciplines and fields of study to do research that thinks and acts with care.
The authors draw on their own and others’ experiences of researching, the troubles they encounter and the opportunities generated when research is approached as a caring practice. Care ethics provides a guide, from starting out, designing and conducting projects to thinking about research legacies. It offers a way in which research can help repair harms and promote justice.
“This exciting book breaks new ground in bringing an ethics of care approach firmly into understandings of how we can design and conduct social research. If you care about social and environmental justice in and through research, you will want to read it.” Rosalind Edwards, University of Southampton
