Ethical questions of longitudinal research with students: Using duoethnography to critically reflect on the interview process

Ratz, Sibylle; Janssen, Lisa

Abstract

From 2016-2020 Sibylle conducted a longitudinal study on the trajectory of undergraduate language students at ENU. In their current project, Sibylle and Lisa (a participant of the original study) revisited this research by reflecting on six interviews from the study. Through a duoethnographic approach they discussed the ethics of working with students over an extended period of time, and across various spaces (including periods of study abroad, and the lockdown situation). Preliminary findings highlight the evolving nature of their multi-positional relationship, and similarities and differences in their assessments of the power asymmetries, vulnerability and consent during the research process.
