TY - JOUR AB - <p>From 2016 to 2019, I conducted my doctoral project research on trans and gender-diverse experiences in Norway, focussing on the impact of a new law on gender recognition through which the previous sterilisation requirement for legal gender change was overturned. Over the course of this research, I have been exploring what it means to be an ethical feminist scholar and working to foster what I feel is a more ethical approach to research on trans individuals. In this article, I outline what I have found to be essential theoretical and methodological considerations to ethical trans research. I apply these to my own doctoral research process to demonstrate the importance of trans-focussed research, reflecting on the challenges I faced when writing my thesis.</p> AU - france rose hartline DA - 2020/6// DO - 10.21825/digest.v7i1.16511 IS - 1 VL - 7 PB - Ghent University PY - 2020 TI - Shaping an ethical approach to trans research: Some reflections from my doctoral project T2 - DiGeSt - Journal of Diversity and Gender Studies UR - https://www.digest.ugent.be/article/id/66178/ ER -
