In June 2019 I had the opportunity to present some findings and insights gleaned from my work on responsible conduct of research (RCR) training for the humanities. I talked about how doing this work in the humanities is both quite different from and similar to RCR training in the sciences. The humanities are not often included in the RCR discussion, but they are researchers and scholars just like other fields. I also talked a bit about the role of interdisciplinarity in RCR training, and how a variety of research ethics issues factor into responsible research. All of this was framed by a move away from a reliance on rules and punishments and toward a model that emphasizes excellence in research and what it takes to get there.
