Seta Kabranian-Melkonian discusses ethical concerns with refugee research and human services administrators conducting refugee research. According to Seta Kabranian-Melkonian, the number of refugees and internally displaced people is rising every minute worldwide. Furthermore, new categories of refugees, such as climate refugees or nuclear refugees, are adding to the traditional groups of natural disaster and war refugees. Implementing research with this complicated group poses numerous ethical issues for researchers. Seta Kabranian-Melkonian is the Practicum Specialist at UAA Human Services Department. In addition to her Ph.D. in Armenian Literature, currently she is completing her Master of Fine Arts degree at UAA in creative writing that emphasizes a literary approach to exploring and redefining relationships between people and place.
