Workshop: "Ethical questions and dilemmas in research with migrant communities on climate justice and health"

The IMBRACE project is organising a workshop exploring the ethical challenges of researching with racialized migrant communities, with a focus on respecting data privacy and addressing the emotional impacts of participatory research.

Workshop: "Ethical questions and dilemmas in research with migrant communities on climate justice and health" 

• Date: Tuesday, July 15th 2025
• Time: 11.30AM – 13 PM
• Online: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86536663604?pwd=57mhEsa13IwgybozYTLJMp0meoeXs5.1

This roundtable discussion will gather the experiences and insights of experts in migration, public health and political ecology in relation to the ethical questions that emerge when doing research with vulnerable groups, in particular racialized migrant communities in European cities. We will discuss how can we elevate people’s voices and center their knowledge without imposing an identity of “vulnerability”, respecting data privacy and emotional impacts of participatory research on health and maintaining a non-extractivist approach to data collection throughout the research process.

Panelists:

• Naomi Millner, Associate Professor in Human Geography, School of Geographical Sciences, University of Bristol.
• Mary Gilmartin,  Professor in Geography, Social Sciences Institute (MUSSI), Maynooth University.
• Louisa Baxter, Medical and public health doctor, Head of the Medical Unit at Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors without Borders) Spain.
