5.3.6 Ethical Challenges Using Participatory Methods with Gifted Adolescents
One of the biggest issues facing gifted education in America is the lack of representation of students of color, especially Black students. Participatory methods offer a powerful way to capture the voices of these students; however, the ethical challenges of recruitment and methodology make it difficult to conduct such a study as a PhD student. This presentation will outline the obstacles as well as the preliminary findings of using audio diaries to capture the voices of Black gifted students. These findings will have wider implications for discussions as to how we include marginalized groups in gifted education around the world.
