Ethical Issues in Art, Design and Media: Workshop Format
1. Research ethics in art, design and media: An introduction to the issues
2. Activity: Ethics case study examples (see selection of case examples)In small groups discuss individual case examples: identify ethical issues and how they might be handled.
3. Using the 2016 MIRIAD Ethics checklist (paper or interactive version)An opportunity for participants to test the prototype and raise any questions or issues connected to their own research.- https://www2.mmu.ac.uk/research/our-research/ethics-and-governance/ethics/- http://www.artdes.mmu.ac.uk/administration/ethics/

Questions
• Why do ethics matter? • How could we embed a consideration for ethics in our
practice?
• The ‘problem’ with art, design and media
• Does ‘good art’ have to be ‘ethically good’? (Or … does contemporary art need to be ethically justifiable?) • In extremis, are good things beautiful and bad things
ugly?

Introducing ethical thinking
Obstacles to theoretical engagement include complexity of the ethical academic discourse (e.g. original texts – Kant, Bergson etc). Excessive complexity - Monteverde, (2014)
For there to be a chance of making people act more ethically you have ‘to engage them in serious dialogue’ (Cederblom and Spohn, 1991)

• Why does art, design and media research needs ethics? What are the possible positive and negative affects of ethical scrutiny?
• What are the key ethical issues or principles that apply in our subject areas?
Development of our original questions

Ethics: definition
Schools of ethics in Western philosophy can be divided, very roughly, into three sorts.
The first, drawing on the work of Aristotle, holds that the virtues (such as justice, charity, and generosity) are dispositions to act in ways that benefit both the person possessing them and that person's society.
The second, defended particularly by Kant, makes the concept of duty central to morality: humans are bound, from a knowledge of their duty as rational beings, to obey the categorical imperative to respect other rational beings.
Thirdly, utilitarianism asserts that the guiding principle of conduct should be the greatest happiness or benefit of the greatest number

Risk assessment
• ALL research projects MUST have a risk assessment attached to the ethics form. (Oct 2012 Academic Board Ethics committee)
• Whilst the principles of health and safety assessment remain constant, it is worth noting that there is range of specific assessment paperwork produced to meet needs of differing creative disciplines. These should be used where appropriate.
• There is currently a generic MMU form – in the medium term a new assessment for post graduate research projects is to be developed.
