Racially-just epistemologies and methodologies that disrupt whiteness (part II)

Participatory Research Emergent Recommendations for Researchers and Academic Institutions: A Rapid Scoping Review

“…This review emphasizes the significance of ethical considerations by providing context on the distinguishing features of participatory practices, which intentionally draws attention to power differentials within research encounters (Gast et al, 2022;Lenette et al, 2019), in academia (Brown & Leigh, 2018;Caldera, 2020), and in society more broadly (Nind et al, 2017). We highlight the importance of recognising and addressing racism, ableism, and other factors precipitating inequity and power hierarchies (Minkler et al, 2012;Wallerstein, 2020, p. 1), and emphasise the value of articles that specifically support researchers to develop practices that recognise and prioritise the importance of cultural safety (Lenette, 2022), and identify the role research epistemologies and methodologies have in racial justice (Rizvi, 2022a(Rizvi, , 2022b. We draw attention to recent valuable work on how to address racism in real-time, whether in interviews (Gast et al, 2022), or when raised in discussion leveraging creative and visual approaches (Moses, 2022).…”

Precarious engagements and the politics of knowledge production: Listening to calls for reorienting hegemonic social psychology

“…It, therefore, only further embeds an insistence on objectivity as a standard of rigour and popularizes the myth that research by researchers who are cloaked in a perceived notion of neutrality or objectivity is more valid. In the absence of intersectional analyses, whitestream epistemologies, methods and standards reinforce racism, ableism and patriarchy (Rizvi, 2022 ). The practice of reflecting on one's ‘insider‐outsider’ positions intersectionally and taking action to not inflict harm upon participants needs to be central to psychological methods.…”
