SESSION KEYWORDS: Community Collaboration, Data Ownership, Management and Governance, Multi-Jurisdictional Research, Research Integrity and Misconduct

SESSION ABSTRACT

Reaching for Tools: Gaps in Awareness of Research Ethics and Responsible Conduct of Research in Art and Design Scholarship” is a Conference Showcase Hall presentation that asks how standards for responsible conduct of research (RCR) and research ethics (RE) are understood and implemented in art and design scholarship. It offers a summary of issues including: What is the status of RE and RCR practices and procedures in art, design, and interdisciplinary contexts? What needs to be developed? What are research priorities in this field? It describes how the research offices of Emily Carr University of Art and Design (ECU) and OCAD University (OCADU) jointly developed a program of presentations and workshops called "Conducting Creative Research (CCR)” to address these gaps (2021-2023). Emerging from perceptions of inadequate and unclearly articulated approaches to the application of RCR principles in art and design settings, the broad focus of the events was RCR training, including data management standards, Indigenous research ethics and protocols for creative methods, privacy standards, ethics in international settings, and authorship issues. “Conducting Creative Research” was made possible with a SRCR Education and Training Support (SETS) Grant from the Secretariat on Responsible Conduct of Research through the Panel on Research Ethics (PRE) and the Panel on Responsible Conduct of Research (PRCR) on behalf of the Tri-Agencies.
