Social Science Ethics for Research and Practice: An African Perspective
Editor
Professor Godwin Ehiarekhian Oboh is Dean, Faculty of Social & Management Sciences, Benson Idahosa University, Benin-City, Nigeria
Description
This book discusses the importance of ethics in research and practice by social scientists. It has become necessary to have a book that examine current issues on ethics relevance to social scientists. It could be recalled that at the early stages of university education, academic programmes were broadly classified into: Science, Arts, Social Science, Medicine, Law, Philosophy and Education.
Today, the sub-disciplines of social science have become independent academic programmes. Nonetheless, social science degrees are interrelated, which explains the need for a book which discusses contemporary issues on ethics across the social science disciplines. Many books have been written on ethics, yet there has been rarely any attempt by authors to jointly examine the importance of ethics to research and practice. So, social scientists, researchers, and students will find this book a useful resource material when published.
Interested contributors are hereby invited to submit their chapter proposals of between 250 and 300 words to the editor on, or before 31 March 2023.
