Submissions to Ethics Committees about Action Research - Invitation to Assist Creation of a Guide
A number of people have commented to members of the ALARA Board about the difficulty action researchers have experienced in trying to gain approval from Ethics Committees at some universities. These difficulties arise from an apparent lack of understanding of action research and its ethical basis. A similar problem faces some practitioners working in organisations. The conditions inherent to action research (or action learning) seem to fly in the face of the preconceived expectations on research held by many Ethics Committee members.
Review of ALARA's Object in Constitution
Hello
During its strategic planning sessions last year, ALARA's Board concluded that the Object as defined in the Constitution (that is, ALARA's purpose) needed to be updated, while maintaining its main intent. As a member of ALARA, you are invited to participate in a discussion about whether a change is required, and if so, the revised wording.
The Object is stated in Clause 6 of the Constitution.
