• In Event: Decolonizing Pedagogies: Global Perspectives on Liberation, Literacy, and Learning

Abstract

This paper uses artifacts from an undergraduate research course to explore both the methodologies and epistemological stances that facilitate research with rather than research on. Within this framework of research with, we view research as a collective construction of knowledge through a qualitative process that can dismantle western colonial constructions of knowledge and its uses as an exclusionary force, particularly in academic spaces.
