Short Lecture Series

Researchers can be faced with ethical dilemmas concerning their research topics, their responsibilities, the impact of their research on society, the way of conducting and publishing their research, and other aspects. Studying cultural heritage objects especially requires a global perspective that is sensitive towards different research contexts and attitudes in societies and states across the world. CSMC’s guidelines for Ethical and Responsible Research provide colleagues with an overview of basic rules of conduct regarding other people, written artefacts, and research data.

With this short lecture series, we want to discuss considerations behind these ethical guidelines and examples from real life research with a wide range of scholars and students of UHH. The short lectures of 45 minutes (all starting sine tempore) are given by different members of CSMC. They will be held in hybrid format and are open to everyone interested in the topics.

All sessions take place from 2:15 pm – 3:00 pm CET at Warburgstraße 26, 20354 Hamburg, room 0001 (pavilion), and online.
