Key issues relating to ethics when conducting research with forcibly displaced people

Chapter 22 in Research Handbook on Asylum and Refugee Policy, 2024, pp 337-348 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter explores key issues related to ethics when conducting research with people in situations of forced displacement. Drawing on the ethical turn in forced migration studies since the early 2000s, the chapter highlights areas of convergence and debate in relation to procedural ethics, relational ethics, scholarly ethics and professional ethics. It argues that the particularities of research in contexts of displacement - namely legal precarity, politicisation, and extreme power asymmetries - require researchers to be aware of all four aspects of ethical practice in forced migration studies. The chapter proposes areas for future collaboration through guidelines for data sharing, more attention to ethics in quantitative research, sharing lessons learned on dilemmas of implementing ethical protocols, and greater amplification of work by people with lived experiences of forced migration and those publishing in languages other than English.
