Abstract: Conducting research on humans is a human rights issue, because
contributing to science and participating in research motivates people to
participate when they would not, under other circumstances. In the past,
researchers have misused this motivation and others to coerce participants.
For this reason, it is important to establish and follow human research
ethics. Dr. Murdock will describe the history of human rights violations in
the U.S. under the guise of research and the strategies she and her
colleagues established to help students learn about human research ethics.
These strategies are effective in providing adequate protection of human
participants without unduly impeding student research projects.
