Join us for a day of workshops and presentations about how to create an ethical engagement practice and engage with controversial research topics.
Part of our Environmental Engagement in Practice programme, 'Ethics of engagement and dealing with controversy' is a free, online, day-long event that will explore the ethical considerations needed to do engagement well.
We will reflect on the role that values play when working with, and planning, engagement, discuss how to plan thoughtful engagement on controversial research topics and how to engage with the media, and take account of the ethical considerations we need to make along the way.
This event will include interactive workshops, discussions and panels with opportunities for you to join breakout discussions with fellow practitioners and reflect on the ethics and values of your own practice.
The full event agenda will be shared closer to the day.
