A university hosted a workshop exploring the intersection of research ethics, music and scriptwriting, and racial bias. The workshop, titled "Harmonizing Ethics: Music, Script, and Social Justice," aimed to foster critical thinking among students and professionals about ethical considerations in creative fields, particularly concerning the representation of marginalized communities. The first session focused on research ethics in music scholarship. Discussions centered on the responsible use of archival materials, the potential for misrepresentation of musical traditions, and the importance of obtaining informed consent from communities involved in research. Participants examined case studies illustrating both ethical best practices and ethical breaches, emphasizing the need for cultural sensitivity and respectful engagement with diverse musical heritages. The second session shifted to the ethical dimensions of scriptwriting, specifically addressing issues of stereotyping and biased representation in film and television. Participants analyzed scripts and screenplays, identifying instances of harmful stereotypes and tokenism. The session emphasized the importance of crafting narratives that reflect the complexity and diversity of human experience, avoiding harmful generalizations and caricatures. The final session integrated these themes, examining how racial bias manifests in both musical composition and scriptwriting. Participants explored how unconscious bias can shape creative choices and perpetuate harmful stereotypes. The session also highlighted the crucial role of self-reflection and critical analysis in mitigating such biases. The workshop concluded with a participatory session where attendees discussed strategies for creating more inclusive and ethically sound artistic products. They committed to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion within their creative works. The organizers of the workshop believe that fostering ethical awareness is essential for all creative professionals. They hope that this initiative will encourage more inclusive and respectful creative practices, contributing to a more equitable and just society.
