Episode Synopsis

As part of our research culture project funded by Wellcome, this series hosted by Dr Dan Craddock unpacks conundrums on a variety of topics relating to ethical tensions in research. Every week a new guest reflects on a different conundrum, discussed informally over a cuppa, from AI in research to climate action, sustainability and citizen science.Psychology Lecturer Dr Heather Shaw joins us in this week's episode to discuss the development of the ‘cuppa conundrum’ series and ethical challenges relating to the use of social media data in research. The topics covered include whether social media is a public or private space? Do researchers require consent when using social media data in research? And what considerations are required when using social media data from vulnerable groups in research?  Hosted on Acast.
