AISLS PUBLISHES STATEMENT ON “BEST PRACTICES FOR FOREIGN RESEARCHERS”

In January 2023, AISLS published a statement on Best Practices for Foreign Researchers. The document is intended to provide guidance on ethical issues in conducting research in or on Sri Lanka. It is the product of a series of conversations held among researchers and staff affiliated with the AISLS Colombo Center and also in conjunction with Sri Lankan faculty, students and independent researchers. These conversations culminated with a one-day workshop in Colombo which was funded by the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University. To serve a broad base of researchers using AISLS resources in Colombo, this document is intended to be general and non-specific across the humanities and social sciences.
