This workshop offers postgraduate students, their supervisors and others engaged in relevant research, the chance to hear lessons from practice and lived experience and explore what it means to adopt a trauma-informed approach to research. It builds on leading research expertise in participatory methods, ethics, and trauma to interrogate:
• The meaning, value and core components of a trauma-informed approach to research;
• The extent to which a trauma-informed approach is distinctive from and enhances existing research ethical standards and protocols; and
• How we can build capacity and support for trauma-informed approaches within academic settings.
