Allyship As A Researcher:
In this session, we will look at how each of us is impacted by epistemic injustice, especially how we don’t know what we don’t know. By using anti-oppressive, difference-centred paradigms, students can reflect on how people make sense of the world and how it might contradict other interpretations of experience. The session will also consider the practical impacts of conducting primary research with marginalised communities.
