In this chapter we take up an invitation to focus attention on ethical issues that arise from a specifically qualitative approach to longitudinal research that has been a feature of our research practice and writing over a 20 year period. In exploring these issues, we emphasise how ethical debates are situated historically and nationally in relation to changing institutional requirements and research cultures and technological affordances. The trajectory of our own engagement with qualitative longitudinal research (QLR) reveals the influence of new research modalities, aided by both the scale of digitalisation and the emergence of new temporal sensibilities attuned to questions of generational change and continuity, memory, cultural inheritance, and the overlay of past/present/future. We give attention to changing policy environments regarding the governance of ethical conduct as well as considering ethics in relation to the different temporalities of longitudinal research, from data collection periods designed to be over time, to the sharing and curation of datasets at the time of the research and into the future. In doing so, ethical developments adjacent to youth studies and QLR communities are noted, including approaches to the stewardship of Indigenous data and practices of care and co-curation of data. |
