Item Open Access Moral development(Elsevier, 2012) Berges, Sandrine; Chadwick, R.This article introduces the concepts of moral development, developmental psychology, and character development. It begins by providing an overview of the history of these concepts, focusing on ancient philosophy and the philosophy of the Enlightenment. It then discusses in more detail a leading theory of moral development and objections that have been made against it. It concludes with some suggestions regarding how we might expect theories of moral development to evolve from those objections.Item Open Access Reflexive reciprocity under an ethics of care: Reflections from the field for refugee studies(Oxford University Press, 2023-12-12) Zadhy-Çepoğlu, Aminath NishaBy bringing reflexivity and reciprocity into conceptual dialogue in a discussion about the ethical framework of care in research, this article discusses how ‘reflexive reciprocity’ can be a research tool in migration studies. Taking reciprocity—the dynamics of giving and receiving—as an aspect contextually bound to the refugee experience, I propose that a relationship of giving and receiving helps undermine the inevitable power asymmetries in knowledge production. Reciprocity becomes all the more essential when researching refugee communities where narratives are prompted in a way that mirrors how refugees are elicited to give information within mechanisms of refugee governance, where they narrate their neediness, perform their vulnerability, and justify their deservingness in return for legal and humanitarian protection in traumatic processes that can be a distortion of the norms of reciprocity. This article invites researchers to address reciprocity in research, premised on the idea that an ethical framework of care should go beyond paying lip service to protect vulnerable and marginalized participants. Reflecting on my case study research with Syrian refugee women in Turkey, Ankara, I argue that reflexive reciprocity is both a tool for more rigorous data collection in a qualitative inquiry and a practical application of an ethical framework of care. In exploring instances where I could link reflexivity to actionoriented reciprocity through ‘everyday acts of caring’, I demonstrate that reflexive reciprocity can somewhat balance out the extractive nature of research and thereby contribute to the ongoing discussion about the ‘reflexive turn’ in migration studies.
