BCM306: Capstone Research Project A
This research based unit builds on the ideas and experiences developed in previous BCM units and is conducted in the context of developing student thinking and planning for their individual Capstone Research Project. In particular it concentrates on the ethical dimensions and operational issues of preparation for academic research in the social sciences, with particular reference to Indigenous settings and concerns. It aims to make sure all students are able to recognise ethical research proposals and empowers them to insist on ethical processes in any research related situation they may find themselves in. Key issues include: the importance of building robust relationships; risks and benefits; informed consent; privacy considerations; possible conflicts of interest; the need for iterative approaches; and timeline expectations. This unit uses the current Macquarie University Ethics Approval Process and is informed by NHMRC, AIATSIS and relevant international sources.
