Marina Veličković
Abstract
Abstract Drawing on three years of empirical research, the article explores four ethical challenges of working with trial transcripts: lack of participant consent; impossibility of research reciprocity; the risk that one’s use of these materials can be harmful to the local communities, and the risk that this use might be harmful to the researchers themselves.
