Reimagining Collaborative Research Ethics: Epistemic Authority, African Wisdom, Indigenous Knowledge Systems, and Gray Zones
Sun, April 10, 10:35am to 12:05pm, Marriott Marquis, Floor: Level Four, Independence Salon DSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
University researchers pursuing collaborative community-based methodologies are situated within a complex nexus of relations with different ‘communities’, other researchers, the broader profession, the academy, the archive or library, and the immediate needs of policy and political projects. At the same time, they are situated within a complex nexus of relations structured around different ethico-political-epistemic positionalities – race, class, gender, language, nation. All these relations and entanglements pose significant challenges to ethical practice. Even the ethical correction that collaborative community-based praxes offers to equity oriented social science research leaves many quandaries needing clarification. Drawing on diverse liberal, African and African American, Indigenous, critical, and decolonial literatures and experiences, this session opens a space to grapple with the very notion of ‘ethical research’.
