Ethical considerations
The INTERMAPS team have placed special emphasis on ethics and care. Since the beginning, we have actively worked on the joint development of strategies to incorporate ethical aspects, emotional processes, and care into the research project. Here we present some of the work that we have done:
- We created an Internal ethics protocol that serves us as a guide throughout the whole project journey. This is specially relevant during the data collection, but it also includes aspects that need to be considered before and after the empirical work. You can check out a summary of this protocol here.
- As part of the mentioned protocol, we designed a Public services contact information sheet. This document is distributed among all the people taking part of the data collection, with the purpose of providing information about the public services available to report discriminations and get professional support. This document is available here.
