Students

Stanford graduate students were invited to join us for a research skills refresher: best practices upholding ethical standards in research, particularly when working in low- and middle-income countries.

Professors Arun Chandrasekhar and Thomas Hansen explored the landscape of ethical considerations in global development research. With perspectives from different academic fields, the speakers addressed the ethical dimensions of data management, privacy, and the responsible communication of research findings, while sharing best practices around upholding ethical standards in research particularly when working in communities in low- and middle-income countries.
