Decolonising Research Ethics

By questioning the dominant and hegemonic research paradigm in Neoliberal institutions, the project argued for a radical shift in understanding ‘what ethics is’ and the need for a disruptive language for research. This project adopted a participatory and dialogical approach, playing at the intersection of the workshop and focus on engaging a wide range of participants at various stages of their careers and navigating different ethical dilemmas. Thus, this project did more than critique existing academic exclusionary realities: by creating the conditions for rigorous academic confrontations of different research contexts and practices that included the lived experiences of global South scholars, it contributed to a more equitable, pluriversal understanding of ethics in field studies.
