Ethical Complexities in Research for Justice

Ronald David Glass, Ph.D., is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy of Education at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and the former director of the U.C. system-wide research program initiative, the Center for Collaborative Research for an Equitable California. He investigates ethical issues raised by justice-oriented collaborative research methodologies, and he has long focused his philosophic work on ideological transformation and education as a practice of freedom. His philosophy of praxis is rooted in his Civil Rights and anti-Vietnam war movement experiences, and his many years of working with organizations and aggrieved communities struggling for justice and democracy. He has been recognized with multiple honors for this work, including a Martin Luther King, Jr., Living the Dream Award from the City of Phoenix, a Paulo Freire Legacy Award from the American Educational Research Association, and distinguished teaching awards from both the Stanford University School of Education and the University of California, Santa Cruz, Division of Social Sciences.
