“Finally, a book that takes ethical questions and dilemmas in media activist research seriously. It has been worth the wait. The contributions are sensitive to their research subjects while remaining critical of emerging power relations. The book is essential reading for all scholars and students of media activism.” (Anne Kaun, Associate Professor, Södertörn University, Sweden - Chair of the ICA working-group Activism Communication andSocial Change)
“Media Activist Research Ethics takes a global approach to mapping ethical research activist practices with social justice objectives. It identifies key challenges with innovative contributions which investigate the global, personal, professional, activist, academic, affective, cultural, pedagogical, and institutional contradictions and tensions that can emerge during the research process. It is an absolute must for researchers conducting empirical research within social movements and media activism.” (Athina Karatzogianni, Associate Professor of Media and Communication, University of Leicester, UK)
“This book is a welcome response to our urgent need to read more about ethics. By presenting a global scope, offering practice-based experiences, and going beyond Western-centric perspectives, it provides us with a roadmap on how activist-scholars can help elevate the voices of marginalised communities in responsible and empowering ways.” (Andrea Medrado,Assistant Professor, Fluminense Federal University, Brazil; Co-Chair of the Community Communication and Alternative Media Section of IAMCR)
“While media activism research is a growing field, there is an alarming gap in addressing questions of ethics, power and positionality. This book addresses exactly that. In bringing together an impressive group of scholars and activists, it engages with these pertinent issues, not only moving this field forward, but contributing to the broader topic of research ethics in social sciences.” (Thomas Tufte, Institute Director for the Institute for Media and Creative Industries, Loughborough University London, UK)
