AERA Executive Director Felice J. Levine presented on “Reflection and Developments in Research Ethics and Governance: A U.S. Perspective” earlier this month at a conference of the UK Academy of Social Sciences. She was the only non-UK presenter at the meeting, which was titled “Finding Common Ground? Research Ethics Across the Social Sciences.”

Levine’s presentation, which came a day after the release of Common Rule recommendations by a National Research Council panel, spoke to cross-cutting research ethics issues, and overviewed some of the common challenges and opportunities in UK and U.S. research ethics regulations.
