Als qualitative Sozialforscher/innen in den Vereinigten Staaten theoretisieren und verorten wir die ethischen Fragen unserer Arbeit in einem Kontinuum von Methodologien, Epistemologien und Forschungsbeziehungen. Dem Ansatz einer kollektiven und transgressiven Reflexivität folgend, schreiben wir als Mitglieder der Ethik-Task-Force der Society of Qualitative Research on Psychology (SQIP) den Ethikkodex der American Psychological Association (APA) um. Wir imaginieren den Kodex neu, sodass er qualitative Forschung mit einschließt und eine Hilfestellung für die evidenzbasierten Dilemmata geben kann, die in unserer Forschung auftauchen. In diesem Artikel benennen wir Leerstellen innerhalb des Kodex, die unvereinbar sind mit einer kritischen qualitativen Sozialforschung, die nach sozialer Gerechtigkeit strebt. Wir rütteln quasi von unten an den erkenntnistheoretischen Grundlagen des Kodex. Dabei entwerfen wir unsere Vision/en für einen neuen Ethikkodex, der die intersubjektive und reflexive Natur der Wissensproduktion in den Vordergrund stellt, die Würde der Beteiligten wahrt, Machtbeziehungen innerhalb und außerhalb des Forschungsvorhabens beachtet, relationale und epistemische Distanz kritisiert und den inneren Zusammenhang zwischen Epistemologie, Validität und Ethik expliziert. In unserem Text weisen wir auf einen Bruch zwischen den normativen Formen von Erkenntnis und Sein in der Universität und der qualitativen Forschung hin.... view less

As qualitative researchers based in the United States, we theorize and ground ethical issues within our work as inherent to the continuum of methods, epistemologies, and research relationships. Through collective and transgressive reflexivity, we write as members of the Society for Qualitative Research in Psychology (SQIP) Ethics Task Force, re-imagining the American Psychological Association's (APA) Ethics Code as a resource that is inclusive of qualitative inquiry and responsive to the "evidence based" quandaries encountered in our praxis. In this article, we name the gaps in the Code that are incommensurate with social justice oriented qualitative research and shake the epistemological ground of the Code from bottom-up. We interweave our vision for a new ethics Code that foregrounds the intersubjective and reflexive nature of knowledge production, preserves dignity, attends to power relations within and outside of the research endeavor, critiques relational and epistemic distance, and explicates the internal connection between epistemology, validity, and ethics. In our writing we note disruption of normative ways of knowing and being within the academy and within qualitative research.... view less
