- Title
Mindful Ethics: Comments on Informant-Centered Practices in Sociological Research.
- Authors
González-López, Gloria
- Abstract
In this article, I introduce the concept of 'mindful ethics' to describe my experiences as a feminist qualitative researcher who has confronted ethical dilemmas in my sexuality research. Mindful ethics is informed theoretically by mindful inquiry, grounded theory, ethics in practice, and ethically important moments. Mindful ethics has been useful in dealing with ethical considerations throughout all stages of my sexuality research. Shifting my attention to the taken for-granted social contexts and circumstances surrounding informants' life experiences has helped me deal with ethical concerns that otherwise may have resulted in harm to informants.
