ABSTRACT Lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and/or queer (LGBTQ) people experience profound health and social care inequalities. Research suggests that staff with negative attitudes towards LGBTQ people, are more likely to hold strong, traditional, religious beliefs. This article reports on a single case study with a newly qualified UK nurse who has since left the National Health Service. This is based on a single interview taken from a larger dataset derived from a funded scoping research study exploring religious freedoms, sexual orientation and gender identity rights in older age care spaces. The interviewee described a toxic nursing culture on a hospital ward for older people. She recounted various incidents involving homophobic and transphobic practice and LGBTQ microaggressions which reportedly impacted the quality of nursing care. The findings are considered in relation to standards for anti-oppressive practice in nursing care, and how nursing students and staff can be supported in addressing practice relating to equality and diversity issues, specifically LGBTQ issues. They confirm the direct significance of addressing the needs and circumstances of LGBTQ people in nursing curricula and ongoing professional practice, and the need to further research, evaluate and progress translation of learning into improved quality care for diverse populations.

ABSTRACT Mass violence in the United States has been shown to cause trauma for survivors. These events may also create for survivors the experience of posttraumatic growth (PTG), the facets of which include personal strength, appreciation for life, new possibilities in life, spiritual change, and enhanced relationships with others. However, the role of collective efficacy and agency in the development of PTG following mass violence remains unknown. The purpose of this study is to assess the relationship between PTG and experiences of collective efficacy and agency among survivors of the Isla Vista, California tragedy of 2014. The mixed methods objective was to explore the interpretive context within which the agency and collective efficacy experiences occurred. Quantitative data collected in a questionnaire (n = 166) were used to inform the collection of qualitative interview data (n = 12). Participating in therapy, organizing community events, and making the decision to either leave or stay in Isla Vista positively correlated with PTG based on hierarchical regression analysis. Themes of personal agency, the importance of role, and participating in collective action emerged from interviews. This study offers unique methodological approaches to using mixed methods data to understand the experiences which contributed to PTG among survivors of a mass shooting.

ABSTRACT This article is based on qualitative research conducted in Delhi between May 2019 and October 2019 with children from the Salaam Baalak Trust (SBT) as part of a PhD. Data were collected from 30 children in focus group discussions using participatory methods, followed by semi-structured interviews. As the research was conducted among a vulnerable population (migrant street children), every effort was made to conduct the study ethically, including obtaining informed consent and upholding confidentially and anonymity. Careful consideration was given as to how to tackle sensitive issues should they arise during data collection. The children agreed that the interim findings of the research would be shared with them through SBT. In addition, the researcher considered her position in the research and applied a reflexive approach to address ethical issues as they emerged. This article sets out the ethical principles applied in this research and the process followed to uphold each principle during data collection, taking into account the vulnerability of the group being studied and the context of the study (India).

ABSTRACT Recently Feminist New Materialism has emerged as a field that questions the capability of critique to offer substantive change and calls for more affirmative forms of criticality which add to, rather than subtract from, alternate ways of living in the world. This ‘affirmative turn’ is an emerging influence in social work where it is taken up to disrupt human-centred notions of agency and engage with the non-human and more-than-human relations that make up the material-social world. This paper adds to this work, utilizing Karen Barad’s concept and method of diffraction to critically engage with trauma-informed practice, a current popular approach in social work that draws on neuroscience and social theory. Specifically, diffraction is used to put neuro-trauma theory into conversation with Extended Emotion theory, and through reading the insights they offer, re-configure trauma-informed social work as situated, embodied, relational practices for making differences that matter in the world. This example also suggests what diffraction makes possible for social work as an onto-ethical mode of affirmative critique.

Research is an essential component of social justice, social welfare, community work, social policy, and social work. However, engaging in research processes inevitably brings up ethical complexities and challenges. From questions of power and privilege to issues of responsibility and relationships, ethical concerns permeate all stages of research. As researchers, we are constantly confronted with dilemmas and controversies that require us to make moral and ethical choices. In this special issue of Ethics and Social Welfare, we aim to promote exchange and discussion on issues, challenges, and problems arising from the conducting of research in these fields. Our goal is to explore the ethical dimensions of research in social justice, social welfare, community work, social policy, and related areas and to highlight the experiences, practices, and strategies that can help researchers conduct their work in a responsible and morally defensible manner. The ethical lens in research, we believe, must extend beyond legalistic and codified understanding of research ethics to address the socio-political embeddedness of ethical principles, and explore how research can serve as a means of providing knowledge, improving social justice, realizing human rights, and mobilizing social equality and inclusion. Researchers are social actors; their choices, decisions and conduct contribute to the generation and legitimation of knowledges and to the reproduction and/or transformation of existing social relations. This special issue was initiated to provide a meeting place of cultures, practices, practitioners, and research communities. In many cultures, the ‘meeting place’ is a sacred space where people gather to share stories, connect with each other, and learn from one another. In the context of this special issue, we use the metaphor of the meeting place to explore the intersection of ethics and research in social justice, social welfare, community work, social policy, and social work. Conducting research in these fields means engaging with complex ethical issues that require careful consideration and reflection. As practitioners and academics, we have a responsibility to ensure that our research is conducted in a responsible and morally defensible manner, while also adhering to relevant ethical principles. This special issue of Ethics and Social Welfare provides a platform for researchers to come together, share their experiences and challenges, and exchange strategies for conducting research that is grounded in ethical principles and values. Through this ‘meeting place’, we hope to build a community of practice that is committed to advancing research that is socially just, inclusive, and transformative. This meeting point of practice, ethics, discussions, and reflection is about an assembly of equals. It is a place to observe, listen, reflect, and celebrate. In creating this space, we have joined a variety of voices in the hope that what is shared may be amplified

ABSTRACT This article comprises a short case exemplifying ethical challenges arising for a participatory researcher working with Afghan women refugees during the Covid-19 pandemic in Germany. The researcher is an Iranian-German woman, qualified as a midwife, undertaking doctoral research on refugees’ access to reproductive health care. Disclosures about some women’s experience of domestic violence are made, which raise ethical issues for the researcher relating to personal-professional boundaries, roles and responsibilities. Two commentaries are given on this case from participatory researchers based in Germany, UK and Austria. Both commentaries highlight the relevance of the ethics of care for participatory research and for this research in particular, which entails very close relationships between the doctoral researcher and the refugee women with whom she is researching. The first commentary analyses the research process in terms of Tronto’s five phases of care, while the second illustrates the importance of caring institutions in supporting researchers working on sensitive topics.

ABSTRACT Professional boundaries are an important aspect of social work theory and praxis – yet it is an underexplored topic within the research literature. Research often explores specific types of professional boundary issue rather than exploring social workers’ boundary stories or boundary narratives. In contrast, this qualitative study explored UK social workers’ broader understanding and experience of professional boundaries. This paper will examine one of the research themes – Humour as a boundary breaker. By using humour, social workers were able to break down the boundaries that often impede effective practice. Participants also used humour to build connections with service users, colleagues and other professionals. Nonetheless, there were various aspects of this practice that raised serious issues related to power, prejudice and discrimination. This theme is important to explore because of how relevant it was for participants’ practice and because humour is also an underexplored topic within the social work literature.
