Kirandeep Kaur, Ph.D’s Post

Looking forward to participating in the Collaborative Futures Academy conference next week! (hosted by the University of Cambridge, Berlin School of Public Engagement and Open Science, Wellcome Connecting Science Engagement and Society, Kavli Centre for Ethics, Science, and the Public, and Stellenbosch University.) Here's the application submission I made in response to the prompt, "how emotions matter in (y)our engagement practice."

I couldn’t be more thrilled to have a chapter in this brilliant new volume on the ethics of researching the far right My chapter ‘Racism, racism, and the far right’ attempts to position the study of the far right within broader systems of race, colonialism and white supremacy This book is phenomenal 😀 https://lnkd.in/gKeMcpB3

Wow! After 13 years of work (and waiting for feedbacks, reviews, rejects, publication delays, etc.) our paper with Loréa BAIADA HIRECHE and @Jean Pasquero is out! We have analyzed the sensemaking processes that occurs though an experiential business ethics course. Thanks a lot to Jérémy Morales as Associate editor and the reviewers for the stimulating review process in the wonderful M@n@gement journal 😉 cc DRM M-Lab Dauphine Recherches en Management (UMR CNRS 7088)

Participants are the backbone of our research because our research is intended to provide insights into their priorities and concerns. However, some scholars have raised concerns that when implemented poorly, research may perpetuate colonial relationships and power imbalances. With the help of the Culture, Research Ethics, and Methods (CREME) team, we have been finding ways to conduct research in ways that preserve participant dignity. In this groundwork, Joel Wambua, Nicholas Owsley, and Tom Wein outline how we approach the issue: https://lnkd.in/dXUPAxJr 

📖 New Research Publication 📖   Our latest article, "Leaders and Leadership in Criminal Activities: A Scoping Review," co-authored with Dr. Benoit Dupont (Université de Montréal), has just been published in Deviant Behavior.   This scoping review of the literature integrates findings from 71 peer-reviewed articles to construct a nuanced understanding of the leadership dynamics in criminal contexts. The review identifies critical themes such as the psychosocial and behavioral traits of criminal leaders, managerial strategies within criminal organizations, and the impacts of leadership decapitation strategies. Our findings contribute to the theoretical discourse on organizational behavior in illicit contexts and underscore the implications for law enforcement and policy development aimed at disrupting criminal enterprises. 50 free online copies of the article are available here: https://lnkd.in/dhwfTPSA

New publication on criminal leadership in collaboration with Julien Chopin, Ph.D. , trying to assess the state of scientific knowledge on the topic. Julien’s post contains a link to access 50 free downloads. First come, first serve ;-)

Our co-edited volume with Prof. Martin Schlag Rethinking Subsidiarity has been just published by Springer. Our volume, by having an interdisciplinary approach argues that subsidiarity is the way forward, a kind of magic key to future, an organizational principle that could contribute to overcome contemporary political, social, and legal challenges and to foster socially responsible and ethical behavior in societies.  https://lnkd.in/dWseTdfi

ommitment to Ethical Research Compliance Within the complex framework of research compliance, our pledge transcends mere legal conformity—it symbolizes a reaffirmation of our ethical principles in academic research. As defenders of human dignity and champions of scientific integrity, we enforce rigorous protocols to ensure the safety of our participants and the authenticity of our research data. 📍Protecting Human Dignity: Enforcing ethical standards via Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) to ensure the rights and welfare of research subjects. 📍Reflecting on Ethical Failures: Learning from historical ethical failures, like the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, to direct a future guided by ethical principles. 📍Fostering Transparency and Participant Care: Emphasizing the critical role of transparency and participant care in our research ethos.Our resolve in building a culture of accountability and transparency is not just aspirational—it’s the standard we uphold. This guarantees that our groundbreaking research fosters both human understanding and societal benefit. Together, let’s advance #ResearchCompliance and #EthicalResearch for a more responsible and enlightened research landscape.

This interesting article underscores the necessity of incorporating ethical considerations and human empathy into scientific practice, emphasizing the essential equilibrium between rigorous scientific inquiry and moral responsibility.

How is better knowledge also epistemologically fairer? In my conceptual paper ‘Extended peer communities: Creating good and fair knowledges’, I aim to reconstruct an implicit moral claim of #PostNormalScience, namely that the #knowledge produced in extended peer communities is both epistemically better and fairer. These are not two different properties but two sides of the same coin. Jerome Ravetz and Silvio Funtowicz introduced the idea of extended peer communities to operationalise the quality of knowledge for #decisionmaking in situations where facts are uncertain, values in dispute, stakes high and decisions urgent. To argue my case, I build on the literature on #epistemicjustice, and in particular the work of Kristie Dotson. The paper is part of the special issue ‘Post-normal Science and #Ethics’ (in the journal ‘Futures’) edited by Tom Boersen and Gaston Meskens. My paper combines research I have done at the Centre for the Study of the Sciences and the Humanities (University of Bergen) and the Internationales Zentrum für Ethik in den Wissenschaften (IZEW).
