By addressing ethical dilemmas in a wide range of situations—qualitative research studies, interview studies, studies of classroom practice, studies of student writing, and feminist work—Gesa Kirsch explores some important questions: Can researchers represent the experiences of others without misrepresenting, misappropriating, or distorting their realities? What are researchers' responsibilities toward research participants, students, and readers? What ethical principles can guide researchers when they encounter participants who share highly confidential information or work with institutions who wish to conceal relevant information?
