The objective of this Research Section is to study modes of \u201cdoing ethics\u201d in contexts where questions of well-being and societal transformation are at stake, especially in fields characterised by transnational interactions such as development, social\/religious movements or international justice. We understand morals or ethics not as given principles or rules, but rather explore the processes of how moral concerns, claims, and value judgements emerge, gain recognition or cause conflict. Here, we analyse processes of communicating, negotiating and practising moralities, and we study the different modes of relating, such as collaboration, rejection or non-recognition through which moral positions arise and take shape.<\/p>

        Summary of the Approved Project<\/strong><\/h5>

        With COVID-19, the stress on health as a moral issue became more obvious as some African nations and individuals are claiming that they have cures for COVID-19, even when the pandemic has so far defied any clinical and globally accepted cure. In the framework of the World Health Organisation (WHO), Traditional Medicine (TM) is used by most Africans and it is the first point of call for many vulnerable and low-earning Africans. Six weeks into the strict protocols of lockdown, and with the number of infections rising, the Federal and Lagos state eased the lockdown on the 4th<\/sup> of May 2020, to allow for a staggered return to business and work.<\/p>

        The easing of the strict lockdown allowed markets to open on certain days of the week and commercial buses to ply the roads. Many of the Public Road Transport Workers and Petty Marketers in Lagos returned to the face-to-face market space and their bus terminals, where they meet different people who may have been infected with COVID-19 with little or no formal protection against COVID-19.<\/p>

        There are no potential ethical challenges for this particular data collection. Consent of respondents will be sought before pictures of their concrete realities are taken while the ethics of research will be adhered to while conversing with them about the investigation. The research assistants who will be on the field with the Principal Investigators will be provided with face masks with proper education on social distancing and other safety logistics. No ethical challenge is foreseen in the process of data collection, as the personal information of the respondents will be left out of the data.<\/p>
