We shall see how IRBs actually implement them - I have concerns, for example, about the failure to define an explicit "exclusion" category for oral history and other practices and the potential for some IRBs to decide what constitutes oral history, what does not, based on limited knowledge (and, I suppose, some researchers, too). But we shall see how it all shakes down. --Linda Shopes, Independent Historian Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10123976511088898457noreply@blogger.com
