Health Research With Vulnerable Groups (2023)

Health Research With Vulnerable Groups

PhD Programme: Health Care, Health Promotion and Organizations (HCHPO)

 

Description:

While there is increasing attention to vulnerability much more research is needed to better understand the lives of vulnerable groups and individuals. Yet, such research opens for considerations that are crucial to anyone interested in conducting sensitive research.

This course aims to provide PhD students with a space for reflecting on the numerous conceptual, methodological and ethical dilemmas that follow when conducting research with vulnerable groups.

 

The course will be designed so that lectures are mixed with group work and discussions of questions such as:

·     How to conceptualise vulnerability without reproducing homogenizing categorizations?

·     How to include vulnerable groups and individuals in the research process?

-     How to work with the researchers’ own positionality and reflexivity?

·     How to deal with ethical principles of research such as ‘informed consent’

We have over some time experienced problems with no-show for both project and general courses. It has now reached a point where we are forced to take action. Therefore, the Doctoral School has decided to introduce a no-show fee of DKK 3.000 for each course where the student does not show up. Cancellations are accepted no later than 2 weeks before start of the course. Registered illness is of course an acceptable reason for not showing up on those days. Furthermore, all courses open for registration approximately four months before start. This can hopefully also provide new students a chance to register for courses during the year. We look forward to your registrations.
