- Ethics: the Good.
- Human rights, such as freedom and equality, as minima (equal inputs) and emergence (where freedom, say, may lead to inequality)
- Social justice (equal outcomes; may require equity rather than equality on input)
- Deontological vs. Consequentialist approaches towards Ethical Action.
- Key ethical principles (cited in research literature) balance the deontological (duty: action inputs, intentions) with the consequentialist (action outcomes, cost/benefit assessments). The following are often cited:
- Humanity: respecting human dignity and rights--minima--and avoiding exploitation (duty)
- Beneficence (ensuring that good outweighs harm) (outcome)
- Equality (social justice, equal outcomes)
- Informed consent (dignity; duty)
- Privacy: anonymity and confidentiality, as requested (duty)
- Philosophical ethics
- The Trolley problem
- Traditional ethics: The Golden Rule
- Kantian ethics - the categorical imperative ("Act only according to that maxim whereby you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law"),action considered an end in itself (vs the hypothetical imperative: action to achieve a particular end)
- Habermas: Communicative Action (treating people as a communicative end, not a means - illocutionary mood)
- Utilitarians: consequential summation
- Why is ethics important for ethnomusicology?
- Why is it especially important for applied ethnomusicology (and M4GHD projects)?
- The ethical impetus behind M4GHD (and Community Music Therapy) itself
- Their focus on disempowered or marginalized communities
- Potential pitfalls: can you think of ethical problems that may arise in the course of ethnomusicological research? (think about conflicts in "doing the right thing" conflict?)
- Breakout session:
- Ethical conundrums! How would you solve them?
- Come up with an ethnomusicological conundrum of your own.
- Research Ethics documents at the UofA
- ARISE (Alberta Research Information Services]. Motivations behind institutional ethics boards? (deontological or consequential?)
- Review Course ethics documents
- Browse Canada's TriCouncil Policy on Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans.
- What are the Principles enunciated here?
- Respect for Persons (humanity: deontological)
- Concern for Welfare (beneficence: consequential)
- Justice (either)
