Research ethics = You + me + “All our relations”
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Increasing awareness of racist and discriminatory structures, such as education and the penal system, is fueling a need for leisure scholars to reconsider their approaches to research. This article encourages readers to consider an alternative approach to doing research; one that is founded upon respect, trust, balance, and fairness. This alternative approach is described by authors as relational ethics. The manuscript discusses reciprocity, flexibility, and a readiness to respond as a part of the ethical protocols that were used throughout a research project that explored the healing experiences and needs of Indigenous women in a prison located in Quebec, Canada. The discussion includes the engagement of Indigenous and decolonizing research methodologies, the inclusion of medicine pouch workshops as an act of reciprocity, and a description of how the project was transformed; specifically, through changes in the delivery of workshop content, participation protocols, workshop length, interview guide, and additional resources.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
