Designing Inquiry with Care: A Relational & Ethical Research Guide

Research is not just a method; it is a relationship. This module helps you design an inquiry that is rigorous, ethical, and grounded in care for the people and systems you study.

You begin by exploring how to frame research questions with clarity and intention. You learn how to identify what you’re truly curious about, how to situate your work within existing knowledge, and how to articulate the significance of your inquiry without overstating its scope.

The next movements guide you into the relational dimensions of research. You explore how to build trust with participants, how to design consent as an ongoing conversation, and how to create methods that honour lived experience rather than extract from it. You reflect on how your positionality shapes the research process and how to remain accountable to the communities you engage with.

You also learn how to design methods that align with your values: transparent, respectful, iterative, and attentive to power dynamics. Whether you’re working with interviews, sensors, archives, or experiments, the module helps you create structures that support integrity and care.

By the end, inquiry feels like a practice of relationship, a way of learning with, not just about, the world.
