  • Political ecology as Ethical Practice
    Political Geography, 2004
    Co-Authors: Lucy Jarosz
    Abstract:

    Abstract Pedagogy is not an issue generally addressed in discussions of ethics in political ecology. These discussions commonly focus upon research agendas and methodology and do not consider teaching and learning political ecology as Ethical and political Practice. This paper argues that public scholarship can make political ecology's approach more concrete for students, because it focuses upon problems of inequality and resource access in their own communities and can foster Ethically informed research projects useful to state and nongovernmental organizations while opening new research venues for students, teachers and community members. The paper's argument consists of three parts. In the first, I provide an overview of ethics in geography. Next I discuss the relevance of radical pedagogy to critical human geography and to political ecology and rework radical pedagogy's definition to include a consideration of public scholarship. Finally, I demonstrate how political ecology as an approach to public scholarship may spark and sustain student activism and value-driven forms of learning and teaching in an undergraduate classroom.

  • community treatment orders Ethical Practice in an era of magical thinking
    Canadian journal of community mental health, 2001
    Co-Authors: Barbara Everett
    Abstract:

    With the passage of legislation in June 2000, coercive measures in the form of community treatment orders (CTOs) have become part of the community mental health landscape in Ontario. Given that community practitioners place a high value upon their ability to create voluntary and egalitarian partnerships with clients, the question of whether Ethical Practice is possible under conditions of legislated coercion is relevant. Based upon a review of the pro and con arguments that preceded CTO legislation, followed by an examination of available research on effectiveness, this paper suggests that forms of magical thinking have been at work on both sides of the CTO debate. A broader definition of coercion is proposed—one that envelops both overt and covert forms. Finally, the author offers an approach to Ethical Practice which is based on the use of transformative power rather than coercive power, and which includes a 3-step strategy (using liberation tactics, proactive contracting, and procedural justice).

  • Ethical Practice of the Staff of Faculty of Public Health, Khon Kaen University, 2009
    Journal of Public Health Research, 2012
    Co-Authors: Somchit Winagorn, Peangjai Sataruksa Oungsakul, Udomkarn Sararatana, Nakhomnop Champar-ngan
    Abstract:

    This research is a descriptive investigation into the level of Ethical Practices and perception of the staff of the Faculty of Public Health in 2009. The participants were 48 instructors and 44 supporting staff. The data were collected by using a questionnaire during 16 to 30 July, 2009. Descriptive statistics; frequency, percentage, average and standard deviation, were used to analyze the result of a questionnaire. The overall level of Ethical behavior of the staff was excellent. The average score of the relevant questions was 4.66 (S.D. = 0.34). Ethical consideration was highest in connection with service recipients and society (the average was 4.77 (S.D. = 0.38). The Ethical consideration in the connection with students was 4.74 (S.D. = 0.36) and in connection with instructors was 4.69 (S.D. = 0.49). Ethical reflection towards themselves was 4.61 (S.D. = 0.41) and towards the organization they were working with was 4.60 (S.D. = 0.39). The average score of Ethical thoughtfulness towards colleagues (everyone in the faculty) was 4.60 (S.D.= 0.39). As far as Ethical issues had been concerned quite some staff (48.1%) was not aware that there is a committee to support and encourage following the Ethical guidelines. Asking about the Khon Kaen University Council Regulations regarding the compliance with ethics, Khon Kaen University, 2007, it was found that the staff learned about the Ethical Practices via a circulars (46%), and from the signs related to ethics (teaching of monks of the 4 moral reasons) (94.4%). It was known that there was a room for religious Practices by 72.2% and 83.3% followed the suggestions they took from the signs. Ethical Practices and perception for the staff of Faculty of Public Health should be made known through a circular as the main means for supporting ethics. Honoring staff or students with good Practice is also recommended. Moreover, it is suggested to invite speakers to elaborate about the Ethical issues continuously and a competition related to Ethical Practice should be organized.

  • ensuring Ethical Practice an examination of nasw code violations 1986 97
    Social Work, 2000
    Co-Authors: Kimberly Stromgottfried
    Abstract:

    The NASW Code of Ethics is intended to serve as a guide for Practice and as a statement of professional standards that the public may use to hold social workers accountable for their actions. At times, however, the Code's proscriptions may seem overly general, difficult to apply, or unrealistic in light of the challenges workers face daily. How then is the Code interpreted? What actions by social workers may result in findings of ethics violations? This article reviews earlier research on violations of the NASW Code and reports on a recent study reviewing allegations made against NASW members from 1986 to 1997. The article describes the frequency and types of behaviors that resulted in findings of Ethical misconduct and offers suggestions for enhancing Practice and reducing exposure to ethics complaints. Key words: adjudication; ethics; ethics violations; social workers Ethical social work Practice has received increased attention during the past 10 years because of concerns about managing malPractice risk, ensuring quality services delivery, and demonstrating professional competence to the satisfaction of funding agencies and regulatory bodies. Paralleling this sensitivity to Ethical Practice is the perception that vulnerability to ethics charges has increased-client cases are increasingly complex and multidimensional, there is high risk in bad decisions, and the available resources to address client needs are decreasing while pressures for efficiency are rising. Against this backdrop, the National Association of Social Workers adopted a revised Code of Ethics (NASW, 1997), which more thoroughly explicates the obligations of social workers to their clients, colleagues, and employing organizations. NASW offers the Code as a guide for Practice, as a protection for the public, and as a tool for adjudicating complaints made against the organization's members. This increased attention to ethics is reflected in the literature of social work and related professions. Authors have described a range of ethics challenges, such as dual relationships (Kagle & Giebelhausen, 1994), threats to privacy (Corcoran & Winslade, 1994; Davidson & Davidson, 1996), client abandonment (Reamer, 1997), and the duty to warn (Abramson, 1990; Kopels & Kagle, 1993). Elsewhere in the literature, authors have focused on the strategies for managing Ethical and malPractice risks (Houston-Vega & Nuehring, 1997; Kurzman, 1995), and still others have examined professional perspectives on Ethical Practice (Jayaratne, Croxton, & Mattison, 1997; Kugelman, 1992; Smith, McGuire, Abbott, & Blau, 1991). With regard to the incidence of unEthical behavior by social workers, Reamer (1995a) reported on malPractice claims filed against NASW members for the years 1961 through 1990. Reamer noted that during that period, 634 claims were filed, and although not all were substantiated, the two most common categories, constituting almost 40 percent of the claims, involved incorrect treatment and sexual improprieties. The latter category, however, was the most costly, resulting in 41 percent of the total damages awarded. Although these are less common, claims regarding the suicide of a patient and failure to warn a third party to protect them from imminent harm also had a high cost, relative to other forms of malPractice. Three studies used NASW-adjudicated cases as a basis for examination. McCann and Cutler (1979) reviewed the ethics complaints (N= 154) filed with NASW between 1955 and 1977 and found that, most frequently, the central issues had to do with the firing of employees, personnel Practice violations, and breaches of contracts. Because 25 percent of the complaints were held as having been in violation of the Code, the authors suggested the need for less abstract standards, so that behaviors and professional expectations could be more clearly linked. Berliner's study (1989) examined individual ethics cases filed between 1979 and 1985 and found that of the substantiated complaints (N = 96), the greatest number (n = 27 or 28 percent) were in the category of the social worker's Ethical responsibility to organizations, the profession, and society, followed by the category of responsibility to colleagues (n = 26 or 27 percent of violations) and conduct as a social worker (n 24 or 25 percent of violations). …
