Abstract
Freedom Research is an opportunity to critique some of the taken-for-granted assumptions that underpin what we do in research and to seek new ways of doing educational research. One needs, however, to ensure that what is done in the name of research is underpinned by an ethical position and by Values that prevent the researcher from doing just what he/she wants without thinking about the consequences and the virtues that guide the task.
