Ethical Data Acquisition
Date: April 9, 2013

What are ethical ways to acquire and manage data in qualitative education research? Come to an informal brown bag discussion of these topics on Tuesday, April 9 from 4:45-5:45 pm in the Teacher Education Building on Mills Street. Snacks will be provided.
Ethical Principles in Human Subjects Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences
Date: April 9, 2013
Time: 6:00-7:30 pm
Location: Union South (check TITU)
What ethical principles should one apply when doing research with human subjects, particularly in the context of Humanities and Social Sciences research, which usually does not involve poking the subjects with needles or experiments on them? Even as the human subjects in these cases are treated more as informants or collaborators, what ethical issues or dilemmas might arise and how do we as researchers deal with them? In this workshop participants will be introduced to the three main principles of the Belmont Report and apply the principles to two case studies.
Intellectual Property in Academic Research Panel Discussion
Date: Thursday, April 11, 2013

Do you understand how to protect your ideas and discoveries? Are you aware of recent changes to key laws for determining intellectual property ownership?
Join us for a discussion on the role of intellectual property (IP) in academic research. A panel of experts in different IP-related professions will provide their perspectives on how changing IP laws will impact research in the biological and chemical sciences. We aim for participants to develop an understanding of how researchers can best protect their potential IP interests, while still participating in the open exchange of knowledge that is an essential part of academia.

Date: Tuesday, February 19, 2013
Time: 4:00-5:00 pmLocation: Union South

Scientists often are not trained for the crucial role they play in mentoring the next generation. Based on a research mentor training program developed here at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, this workshop is designed to help you become a more effective mentor. Through presentation, case studies, activities and small-group discussion, we will:
-
Learn the core elements of research mentoring;
-
Share mentoring challenges and solutions with one another;
-
Explore the role mentors have in ensuring the responsible conduct of research
- Develop practical tools and strategies that you can implement immediately to become a more effective mentor.
Navigating Difficult Conversations
Date: Wednesday, February 27, 2013
Time: 4:00-5:00 pmLocation: Union South
Presenter: Harry Webne-Behrman, Office of Human Resource Development
Good communication is essential for any relationship and often challenging. This workshop invites participants to consider the best ways to have those challenging, emotionally charged, and often conflictive conversations in a manner that is true to both the needs of the task at hand and the continuing professional relationship. By learning to negotiate assertively (rather than aggressively or submissively), people can focus on what they truly need, their concerns in the face of disagreement, and the best long-term needs of the relationship. Participants will engage in meaningful conversations about these strategies and offer tips for addressing those situations that are especially important in our work.
