Intrinsic responsible innovation in a synthetic biology research project
This paper presents, from the perspectives of both social scientists and microbiologists, a case study of the implementation and practice of Responsible Innovation (RI) in a UK-based synthetic biology project. We highlight the impact of interdisciplinary working and examine the benefits that arise from creating the time and space for shared reflection on research. Our discussions over the course of the project included concerns about the potentia…
Art, authenticity and citizenship for people living with dementia in a care home
This paper reports on a study which examined the notions of authenticity and citizenship for people living with cognitive impairment or dementia in a care home in the North-East of England. We demonstrated that both notions were present and were encouraged by engagement with an artist, where this involved audio and visual recordings and the creation of a film. The artist's interactions were observed by a non-participant observer using ethnographi…
Reflections on the practice of Responsible (Research and) Innovation in synthetic biology
This paper is a critical reflection on the concepts of Responsible Innovation (RI) and Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI). We offer an account of the emergence of these related but different accounts of responsible innovation that have recently been adopted by funders. We further report on our exploration of the knowledge and understanding of these concepts through the views of senior scientists involved in synthetic biology research proje…
Researching disabled children and young people's views on decision-making: Working reflexively to rethink vulnerability
Issues relating to qualitative research with disabled children and young people will be discussed. Semi-structured interviews with boys who have Duchenne muscular dystrophy were conducted to explore their thoughts on how they might make a decision to take part in medical research. Assumptions about disabled children's vulnerability can impact how researchers conduct qualitative research, and how they are involved in significant decision-making. W…
Death duty – caring for the dead in the context of disaster
An important duty for any society is to manage the deaths of its members. In most cases there are highly evolved social and cultural traditions, alongside civic procedures which render this management routine. It is only when something out of the ordinary occurs, an air accident, a tsunami, an earthquake or some other cause of multiple fatalities that the underlying moral and evaluative framework is starkly exposed. This paper begins by examining…
Handheld Computers for Direct Observation of the Social and Physical Environment
This article evaluates the use of handheld computers for systematic observation of the social and physical environments. Handheld computers, also known as personal digital assistants (PDAs), make the advantages of computer-assisted data collection (CADC) more accessible to field-based researchers. In particular, CADC with handheld computers may improve data quality, reduce turnaround time, and enhance research capacity for community-academic part…
Children and Research: A Risk of Double Jeopardy
This chapter presents arguments that bolster the position of children so that they may become optimally engaged in therapeutic and non-therapeutic research where this is of minimal risk. This may be achieved by ensuring that there are sufficiently sophisticated assessments of their competence, their empowerment and by a presumption that everyone, including children, wishes to participate in research that does not necessarily involve direct benefi…
