So, it's definitely a major dance. I mean, . . . in the past, research has . . . been somewhat hurtful to many of these communities. I don't know that I'm saying this correctly, but it's an EXTREMELY IMPORTANT responsibility to be transparent but also be THOUGHTFUL about how you're impacting communities and entire CULTURES of people when reporting your view of what you've learned

I’m thankful that I’m not the only student who noticed that the ethical handling of data is a dance.

I’ve been so concerned with the protection of the individuals in this study, it never occurred to me that part of the principle of beneficence might pertain to groups or cultures that have been misrepresented or disenfranchised. I would have completely missed this in my own study.
