I am pleased to share the CFP for the Business Ethics Quarterly special issue on "Wisdom and Sustainability: Transforming Business Ethics in Practice"! This issue, co-edited with Prof. Wendelin Küpers, Prof. Monika Ardelt, Dr Matt Statler, and Prof Elena Antonacopoulou, seeks cutting-edge research examining the nexus of an extended understanding of wisdom and sustainability as it helps to transform business ethics as and in practice. 🔎 This special issue welcomes theoretical, empirical, and interdisciplinary contributions that promote a critical and comprehensive integration of transformative wisdom as ethics in practice. 🗓️ Submission window: August 1–September 30, 2025 This is a great opportunity to contribute to the vibrant, ongoing conversation on wisdom and ethics in business! For more details on submission guidelines, please see the Call for Papers here: https://lnkd.in/gNGKGa8Q Let’s continue to explore and expand our understanding of wisdom, sustainability and business ethics. Looking forward to the groundbreaking research this issue will bring to light!

NEW REPORT! Ethics in modern slavery research. This study examined ethical challenges in modern slavery and human trafficking research and explored how inclusive, trauma-informed, and ethically robust practices can enhance both research quality and outcomes for participants. The study identifies four critical areas for improvement: 1️⃣ ethical governance 2️⃣ co-production and participatory methods 3️⃣ trauma-informed approaches 4️⃣ ethical legacies. It highlights the need for reform in institutional structures, clearer onboarding for lived experience experts, specialised training on trauma-informed approaches and a need to consider the legacies of research – both benefits and challenges - for all participants from the outset of projects. The report recommends considering how to move beyond established often top-down ethics frameworks and adopt flexible and inclusive culture of continuous improvement and open dialogue, with structural changes necessary in the longer-term.

Register here:  https://lnkd.in/eEMmS2N5 The research was conducted by the University of Liverpool and University of Nottingham. It was commissioned by the Modern Slavery and Human Rights Policy and Evidence Centre (PEC), part of University of Oxford, which is funded by Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC).

Over summer, myself, Emmaleena Käkelä, and David Kanyumi completed research on ethics, ethics processes, and coproduction in research resulting in a report (https://lnkd.in/gefsVRvD). The scoping exercise mapped the impact of ethics procedures on collaborative research projects. Through interviews and (ketso kit) workshops we uncovered valuable insight about experiences of coproduction and ethics from people at different stages of their research careers. We have put forward recommendations based on these findings that I hope to see implemented in the future to enable quality, considerate, and ethical research. RECOMMENDATIONS 1) Developmental work: recognising developmental work in ethics workloading, to promote possibilities for strengthening practice and guidance   2) Streamlining ethics forms: by removing duplication, revisiting the language and by creating a logical narrative   3) Ethics guidance: exploring possibilities for providing ethics resources in variety of formats, including audio and video, to encourage researchers to involve non-academic collaborators in the process   4) Improving staff awareness: promoting opportunities for dialogue with ethics committees   5) Training on ethics: ensuring sufficient training on ethics for staff and students   6) Good practice: sharing examples of ethics in co-production, especially on methods of engagement, practices of shared ownership and the development of participant-facing resources, to promote colleagues to build further engagement into their studies   7) Furthering collaboration: examine opportunities to build engagement between ethics committees, to share research expertise and good practice   8) Developing a guide: providing researchers guidance on how ethics committees approach applications involving iterative coproduction I very much enjoyed working in this team and look forward to future collaboration.

Really pleased to be able to share this new report on ethics in modern slavery research published by Modern Slavery and Human Rights Policy and Evidence Centre. It was a pleasure to lead this team and co-author the report with colleagues Bethany Jackson Kimberley Hutchison Helen Stalford and Edmira Bracaj from University of Liverpool and University of Nottingham and a massive thank you to all those who engaged with the project, shared their views and experiences of partnering in research on #modernslavery #humantrafficking #exploitation It's clear there are shared challenges that all those engaging in research on modern slavery need to be mindful of to ensure a truly #ethical #equitable and #inclusive approach is embedded in their work. Beyond individual research teams it is also crucial that the organisations surrounding research - funding bodies, universities and external partners - are attentive to creating the conditions in which ethical research can happen so that all can experience benefits of taking part in research.
