Training on research ethics
combined with cultural diversity
will prepare students with new
research approaches/methods
that are appropriate to
environmental field studies. New models of research that have
emerged with community-based
partnerships and research with
cultural groups will also provide
critical training to environmental
studies/sciences graduate
students.
Students will learn about required
human subjects protections,
ethical theories, cultural
competence/ humility theory, and
review environmental field studies
for community-based, culturallyappropriate approaches.
Learning Outcomes:
Students will gain new research
skills to promote more thoughtful
moral consideration of research
approaches / methods with diverse
groups.
Students will gain experience with
preparing to interact with diverse
groups in the US and abroad
through investigating cultural
histories and research experiences
of these groups and through
colearning strategies and research
arrangements used with diverse
groups for collaborative projects
