Abstract | This is a paper about the micro scale of research ethics; specifically the ethics of a multidisciplinary narrative inquiry in two Northern Finnish villages by a large group of researchers. The issues faced with in such an inquiry are approached and introduced here as a collection of individual and shared thoughts, memories, open questions, stories of experiences and quotes from field notes by the researchers--in this case, all educational scientists. Researcher's ability to be empathetic, non-judgemental, caring, patient and emotionally responsive are implicit but crucial factors in the formation of the relationship between her and her participants. No oral or written agreement or information will guarantee trust. These might, in fact, lead to exactly the opposite. Having said all of this, the writers suggest that researchers also be caring towards theirselves. Donald W. Winnicott speaks consolingly about mothers not having to be perfect but just "good enough". When we are good enough researchers, we do our work with the best of intentions and the best of our abilities but with a humble and thus ethical attitude of always assuming there is something we have forgotten or not thought about. In the lack of categorical rules or even guidelines, the writers come up with the idea of girliness as an ethical attitude that is needed within this micro scale of research ethics. The stepping down from high horses of academia and daring to wonder about small things, daring to experience, enduring the emotions of littleness. (Author). |
