In this talk, Dr.'s Karen Nairn and Carisa Showden will share the challenges and solutions they encountered while working with community activist groups in New Zealand. They discuss the challenges researchers face when gaining consent from community groups, and novel ways of obtaining formal consent. The core of their talk is the framing of consent as a core value of both researchers and the groups they are researching.
We are then joined by Dr. Violetta Igneski, chair of the McMaster Research Ethics Board, who will talk about MREB policy around consent and working with groups.
