Abstract: | As a discipline, sociology has had to confront criticism of the nature and ends of sociological research and ethnical dilemmas
in the study of social problems and people. Over time guidelines have appeared to aid in protecting subjects and colleagues
(e.g., the ASA Code of Ethics) and to guarantee research standards (e.g., the peer-reviewed proposal process, human subjects
committees). However, guidelines tend not to address the challenges sociologists face in international research. This results
in unpleasant experiences and potentially endangers research and researcher alike. This articles responds to the gap in the
literature on ethical issues in international research. It draws on writings by social scientists and from the author’s experience
in Latin America. |
