ZAGO, Luiz Felipe; GUIZZO, Bianca Salazar and SANTOS, Luís Henrique Sacchi dos. Ethical problematizations: disquietudes for educational research on gender and sexuality. Rev. Inter Ação [online]. 2016, vol.41, n.1, pp.189-211. ISSN 0101-7136. https://doi.org/10.5216/ia.v40i3.20931.
A theoretical article that discusses ethics in research involving human subjects, and in particular, researches in the areas of gender and sexuality. The Resolution 466/2012, regulating ethics in research on human subjects in Brazil, is based on a model that is appropriate for biomedical sciences but not equally applicable to research in social and human sciences. Salience is given here to critiques of the biomedical model that have been elaborated from Public Health and Anthropological perspectives. This is followed by an analysis of ethics in gender and sexuality research that is linked to feminism and queer studies. Finally, given its relevance to the field of Education, research with children is examined as an exemplary case of the type of work that falters when current models of ethical regulation are applied. In conclusion, certain theoretical and methodological themes become unapproachable when subjected to the hegemony of biomedical ethics.
