Exploring research relationships and other ethical challenges of participatory visual research in remote environments
This critical reflection provides fellow researchers with insights into the ethical challenges of using visual methods in remote environments. We draw on Fine’s notion of ‘working the hyphens’ to explore the complexities of studying a leadership program for women in science, technology, engineering,...

This critical reflection provides fellow researchers with insights into the ethical challenges of using visual methods in remote environments. We draw on Fine’s notion of ‘working the hyphens’ to explore the complexities of studying a leadership program for women in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine (STEMM) on a ship in Antarctica. We reflect on how our researcher identities and relationships with participants shaped the research process and emergent ethical tensions. For instance, we discuss ethical issues that arose in relation to the contextual and relational aspects of the environment including psychological and physical demands of research participation in Antarctica, privacy and isolation in remote environments, and rapport. We also discuss issues related to participant-produced video diaries specifically including consent, confidentiality and participant safety. To conclude, we highlight implications for visual research in other remote settings. |
