Ethics, Power and Agency in Transnational Qualitative Methods: Remote Collaboration in a Refugee Camp

This is a methodological paper discussing the ethical and power-based implications of conducting remote and participatory research in a refugee camp. The paper presents the methodological approach to a community-engaged project studying education and technology in a refugee camp in Malawi. Half of the research team lives in Canada and half in the Dzaleka Refugee Camp. This paper reflects on this study, with a focus on remote partnership, team building with community researchers, and the use of digital tools to coordinate and manage data collection and analysis. We also identify locations where ethics and power are both disrupted and affirmed in this participatory study

402-410An investigation was carried out to study the effect of various factors on the regeneration of Celosia cristata L. The 6-benzyladenine (BAP) was more effective than kinetin (Kn) for shoot regeneration. The presence of 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D) or 1-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) at low concentration increased the number of shoots per explant. Similarly, salt and sugar composition of medium also affected the in vitro regeneration. Subculture of explants up to 8th generations remarkably increased regeneration efficiency. Up to 1,434 shoots, with an average of 239 shoots per explant, could be regenerated by subculture of the explants over the medium containing 6.6 µM BAP and 0.5 µM NAA. The induced microshoots were rooted in 1/8th MS basal medium. It was concluded that shoot tips derived from 12-d-old seedling were the best explant for micropropagation through recurrent regeneration when they were cultured over MS medium containing 0.5 µM NAA and 6.6 µM BAP. </span
