Relevance and Relation of Decolonial Studies in Methodology
Venue
Hybrid event - online and in personDescription
Creating research design is a powerful tool for the quality of knowledge production. In this seminar, we will explore decolonial perspectives in crafting research design up until the final submission. Methodology is an essential tool that requires careful attention as we address the power relations in the research process. We will look at theoretical, practical and ethical issues of generating, collecting and analysing data rooted within an ethic of caring and personal accountability. The key exercise is to challenge and disrupt traditional canons of knowledge production (part of the legacies of coloniality) as we situate Decolonial Studies in Methodology to articulate Black feminism, Critical Race Theory, Indigenous Studies, and Queer Studies.
