On Keeping Research Human, Relational Ethics in Practice Practicing relational research ethics through shared reading, writing, and conversation

Relational research ethics are not just acts of compliance. These are how we show up to one another in practice.

A collaborative reflection on keeping research human.

Notebook pages with lists, bibliography, scrawls, and labels. Untidy, even chaotic, but functional! Blog Post title: Everything Notebook Transitions

Today's blog post is about the Everything Notebook and what happens as I transition from last season's to this season's "fresh new start." Also, a recipe for apple crisp.

Highly recommend the note-taking advice from @erazlogo.bsky.social. Walks you through using Zotero+Obsidian in the archive. Best I've found for dealing w/ archive-image-overload that is feature of current historical work. #ResearchPractice

A multi-colored network chart generated from my research notes in Obsidian.

I've moved my note taking into Obsidian over the past 6 months. Bit of a learning curve, but feels like it's helping me track themes and connections better. A cool feature is the graph view of your notes #ResearchPractice

#HERDSA2025 #AcademicSky #ResearchPractice

How can this naming practice intersect with broader movements for decolonising research methodologies? What parallels can be drawn with similar acts of reclamation and resistance?
#HERDSA2025 #AcademicSky #ResearchPractice

What methodological innovations or collaborative approaches could be developed to extend this naming practice? Could co-naming or name negotiation be explored in participatory and narrative methods?
#HERDSA2025 #AcademicSky #ResearchPractice

Should participant-chosen pseudonyms become a standard practice in qualitative research?
#HERDSA2025 #AcademicSky #ResearchPractice

Does inviting participants to name themselves affect trust, rapport, and data quality? In what ways could participants share more openly or guardedly based on this practice?
#HERDSA2025 #AcademicSky #ResearchPractice

How do different cultural or linguistic contexts influence pseudonym choices?
#HERDSA2025 #AcademicSky #ResearchPractice

What are the ethical implications of rejecting a participant’s chosen pseudonym if it’s perceived as inappropriate, identifying, or overly symbolic? Who gets to decide what is "appropriate"?
#HERDSA2025 #AcademicSky #ResearchPractice

Are there risks in allowing participants to choose pseudonyms? Should this matter in qualitative research, particularly in relation to authenticity and rigour?
#HERDSA2025 #AcademicSky #ResearchPractice

To what extent does allowing participants to choose their own pseudonyms enhance or complicate the research process?
#HERDSA2025 #AcademicSky #ResearchPractice

If a participant chooses a name that unsettles you (perhaps rooted in pain, protest, or resistance), how would you navigate your own discomfort, and what ethical responsibilities do we carry in honouring the emotional truths embedded in such a choice?
#HERDSA2025 #AcademicSky #ResearchPractice

How does this act of naming intersect with language survival, cultural continuity, and identity reclamation in research contexts?
#HERDSA2025 #AcademicSky #ResearchPractice

What might it mean for a First Nations participant to choose an ancestral name, or for a migrant to reclaim a lost language through their pseudonym?
#HERDSA2025 #AcademicSky #ResearchPractice

How do our own privileges affect how we react to names that seem unfamiliar or political and what does this say about how inclusive or ethical our research really is?
#HERDSA2025 #AcademicSky #ResearchPractice

To what extent do researcher-assigned pseudonyms reinforce existing power structures, such as colonial or epistemically unjust practices?
#HERDSA2025 #AcademicSky #ResearchPractice

What role do names play in representing identity, particularly in spaces where power imbalances are pronounced?
#HERDSA2025 #AcademicSky #ResearchPractice

How are pseudonyms used in your research? We have found that giving participants the space to choose their own pseudonyms provides moments of empowerment, giving them agency over how they are represented.
