Name of resource: Socially sensitive research 2
Submitted by: Aidan Sammons
Specification details: AQA-A Module 5 Ethics
Other specifications: Edexcel
Guidance: Small group activity.  Follows on from previous activity.  Students locate the examples they have looked at within the framework provided by Sieber & Stanley.  Part two
requires them to reflect on and respond to various stances taken by researchers with respect
to socially sensitive research.  

ADDITIONAL ACTIVITY: students sometimes find the 'dissemination of findings' bit hard to
grasp.  It can be fun to divide them into groups and assign each group a newspaper
(The Guardian, The Daily Mail, The Sun etc.)  Ask each group to come up with a front-page
headline for each of the research examples in the previous activity.
