Ethical Research

All new HDRs are required to complete training in research ethics by taking the Research Integrity Training module within three months of commencing their research degree.

If your research involves living subjects or sensitive materials, you may need to submit a detailed ethics proposal for approval before commencing your research.

To help prepare for this, students are encouraged to consult the Human Ethics Committee site, which provides an overview of ANU ethics processes.

 

Compulsory Coursework for Current PhD and MPhil Students

MEAS9001 Critical Approaches and Methods in the Study of the Middle East and Central Asia (12 units)

This course engages research students in a critical evaluation of the main paradigms and methods used to study the Middle East and Central Asia. From Oriental Studies, Area Studies to the disciplinary social sciences and humanities, the course explores how specific social, historical, cultural and political contexts affect knowledge production in and on the Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia. The course critically exposes research students to key methods used by academics in humanities and social sciences (including political scientists, historians, anthropologists and cultural studies scholars among others) to critically structure their research on the Middle East and Central Asia.
