Trust in the system : research ethics committees and the regulation of biomedical research
Hedgecoe, A
Trust in the system : research ethics committees and the regulation of biomedical research - Manchester : Manchester University Press, 2020 - xi, 209p.
Text includes Paper promises or written applications as trust warrants; Trust, local knowledge and distributed centralisation; Facework, interaction and the performance of trustworthiness; Reviewing science, trusting the reviewers.
This book highlights how, despite the trappings of a modern regulatory system, research ethics committee decision making revolves around outdated aspects of social life. Hedgecoe argues that an accurate understanding of this kind of regulation requires an acceptance of the inherently social nature of the processes involved. In placing trust at the centre of ethics decision making, this book challenges the impersonal, de-socialised and mechanical models of REC decision making that dominate mainstream accounts and documents the subtle, messy, and complex way in which these bodies decide what kind of research should take place.
