E-Research Ethics and E-Planning: Emerging Considerations for Transformative Research

This paper examines the issues of boundaries in the increasingly complex work of e-research in general, and moves towards specific examples relevant to e-planning disciplines. It uses a framework of “research ethics 2.0,†and interrogates models of research ethics in novel research environments. Research ethics 2.0 as a framework forces us to move away from rigid models, monochronistic ways of thinking about ourselves in relation to research, to others, and to our environments, broadly conceived. Transformative research demands transformative models of research ethics.
