| Abstract | Academics from diverse disciplines are recognizing not only the procedural ethical issues involved in research, but also the complexity of everyday “micro” ethical issues that arise. While ethical guidelines are being developed for research in aboriginal populations and low-and-middle-income countries, multi-partnered research initiatives examining arts-based interventions to promote social change pose a unique set of ethical dilemmas not yet fully explored. Our research team, comprising health, education, and social scientists, critical theorists, artists and community-activists launched a five-year research partnership on arts-for-social change. Funded by the Social Science and Humanities Research Council in Canada and based in six universities, including over 40 community-based collaborators, and informed by five main field projects (circus with street youth, theatre by people with disabilities, dance for people with Parkinson’s disease, participatory theatre with refugees and artsinfused dialogue), we set out to synthesize existing knowledge and lessons we learned. We summarized these learnings into 12 key points for reflection, grouped into three categories: community-university partnership concerns (n = 3), dilemmas related to the arts (n = 5), and team issues (n = 4). In addition to addressing previous concerns outlined in the literature (e.g., related to consent, anonymity, dangerous emotional terrain, etc.), we identified power dynamics (visible and hidden) hindering meaningful participation of community partners and university-based teams that need to be addressed within a reflective critical framework of ethical practice. We present how our team has been addressing these issues, as examples of how such concerns could be approached in community-university partnerships in arts for social change. © 2016, The Author(s). |
Ethics in Community-University-Artist Partnered Research: Tensions, Contradictions and Gaps Identified in an ‘Arts for Social Change’ Project. ^ Research funding agencies recognize the need to cover community-based research ex- penses such as providing honoraria for those who are interviewed or participate in focus groups as well as transportation costs food and incidental costs but often do not adequately recognize the financial costs associated with participating in the research incurred by commu- nity partners. One questionnaire respondent eloquently discussed the tensions surrounding issues of confidentiality: Bthe consequences of being named in some research projects may have impact that cant be foreseen either by researcher or participant so not naming ensures some protectionso there is the tension between honoring and making visible the co-researchers that participants are and shielding them from unwanted attention or consequences. Team Issues Ethics of Caring for Team Members Students and Staff The main public research granting agencies in Canada do not allow funding of the principal investigator or co-investigators: BNon-Eligible Expenses: Any part of the salary or consulting fee to the grantee or to other persons whose status would make them eligible to apply for grants from the Agency. Administrative protocols can support a team members authority/ stature within her own institution and a team can manage the tensions between attending to administrative requirements and devising creative solutions to address the needs of individual researchers and/or the project as a whole.
