In April 2016 Manchester eScholar was replaced by the University of Manchester’s
new Research Information Management System, Pure. In the autumn the University’s research
outputs will be available to search and browse via a new Research Portal. Until then
the University’s full publication record can be accessed via a
temporary portal and the old eScholar content is available to search and browse via this archive.

Abstract
I argue that questions of research ethics always take us beyond the bureaucratic approach of ethics committees and into vital questions of the moral character of sociological research. To answer those questions we need a deeper understanding of the political role of a public sociology, and that understanding must be informed by publics themselves.
