Sometimes, scholarship seems like the thing clinicians have the least time for. And yet, our practice makes for rich scholarship opportunities, and the scholarship itself can deepen our teaching and supervision. As more clinical professors are required to produce scholarship, this session embraces these possibilities and examines a few ethical and pedagogical issues raised by our research and scholarship. Specifically, this session will explore not only the ethics of using our clients' stories in our scholarship, but also our students' stories and legal work. In addition, this session will consider whether and how we reveal, assign, and/or teach our scholarship, and what guidelines may be helpful as we consider our pedagogical goals and professional responsibility. Finally, this session will examine how and why our scholarship is in synergy with our clinical practice, extends from our practice, or occupies a wholly different area from our practice. We will help attendees identify decision points, options, and possible considerations in thinking through these three topics. Attendees will discuss and identify, in small groups and then as a larger group, other decision-points, options, and/or guidance for their particular scholarly agenda and clinical practice. We will provide attendees with a tool to help surface and make decisions regarding ethical and pedagogical considerations raised by our scholarship as clinical professors and also a bibliography regarding these topics.
