    Methodological reflections on ethics, relations of care and reciprocity in feminist research praxis
    (SAGE Publications, 2025-06-26) Walters VM; Beban A; Ashley N; Cain T
    This paper puts forward a model of feminist research practice, termed ‘TROVE’. This model emerged through methodological reflections on research ethics for a project exploring women's experiences of gender inequality over the life course. The paper discusses five relations of care that became core to the research: relations within the team; between researchers and participants; in participants' connection with their past, present, and future selves; among participants as a group; and across generations. Reciprocity, both in discourse and practice, played a pivotal role in these care relationships. The TROVE model highlights reciprocated relationships based on trust, recognition, openness, vulnerability, and empathy. These elements demonstrate the inherent value of care and reciprocity in feminist praxis and ethical research. They help to navigate tensions between procedural and situated ethics, and thereby have potential applications beyond explicitly feminist studies.

    Wāhi Kōrero: The Development of an Online Story-Sharing Research Platform for Health Research
    (SAGE Publications, 2025-05-30) Severinsen C; Breheny M; Reweti A; Ware F
    Storytelling has the power to forge connections and foster empathy, providing insights into shared human experiences. In the digital age, online platforms offer opportunities to amplify historically underrepresented voices. This article introduces Wāhi Kōrero, a bespoke online story-sharing platform designed to collect stories from people whose experiences are often absent from health research. Wāhi Kōrero was developed through a collaborative approach between Indigenous and non-Indigenous researchers and web designers, prioritizing ethical considerations, cultural respect, and inclusivity. Wāhi Kōrero provides a safe and welcoming space for people to share their experiences, crafted in their own words, with minimal researcher involvement. Analyzing these stories can reveal the structural inequities that shape personal experiences with health professionals. The platform’s transformative impact extends to power dynamics, political discourse, and knowledge production. Wāhi Kōrero works toward a collectively determined health research agenda, elevating the voices of health service users and validating their expertise in their own lives and health. Ultimately, Wāhi Kōrero exemplifies the changing landscape of online information access, presentation, and control, paving the way for a more equitable and inclusive approach to health research and practice.

    Book Review: Bayesian Statistics the Fun Way: Understanding Statistics and Probability With Star Wars, Lego, and Rubber Ducks
    (Frontiers Media, 15/01/2020) Perezgonzalez J
    Bayesian Statistics the Fun Way is an engaging introduction to Bayesian inference by Kurt (2019). His main goal of producing “a book on Bayesian statistics that really anyone could pick up and use to gain real intuitions for how to think statistically and solve real problems using statistics” (Carrone, 2019) is certainly achieved. Indeed, the book introduces Bayesian methods in a clear and concise manner, without assuming prior statistical knowledge and, for the most part, eschewing formulations. It explores Bayesian inference in a very intuitive way and with engaging examples—from UFOs to conspiracy theorists, via Lego, crime scenes, Start Wars, email click baits, and funfair rubber ducks—and constrains itself well enough for readers to start applying Bayesian inference from the word go.
