Scenario

When research partners clash over ethical boundaries in truth commission work

My research partner and I are documenting testimonies for a truth commission and they keep pushing survivors to share more graphic details while I think we're retraumatizing people for the sake of a more compelling report. We both believe in the work but our methods are becoming ethically incompatible.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Collaborators in truth-gathering work discover their different approaches to survivor testimony create moral conflict about their shared mission.
