At Kingston University I am developing a new research project on shared values. The ideas is to see how far the FAIR ethics framework (see Working Ethics) is an appropriate ethical basis for community leaders and people working in the public space.
Since this framework is successful in helping members of different professions work together it might help people working across cultural divides and in culturally complex situations.
We are currently in discussion with various organisation on how best to organise this research and will keep you posted on its progress.
