Do Better Research S3 E2: Virtue Ethics

Do Better Research

In this episode, I talk to David Carpenter (https://arma.ac.uk/speaker/david-carpenter/) who works as a trainer for the Health Research Authority, the UK Research Integrity Office (https://ukrio.org/) and the Association of Research Managers and Administrators. We talk about the paradigm of virtue ethics, what it is, and what it means to researchers and participants. David comes to this episode with a wealth of knowledge and experience of what ethics means to research, and how we can embed ethical practices to become better researchers.
