Introduction

Unravelling Research

New!

From: Unravelling Research

$1.80

In Chapter 1, author Teresa Macías explains the intentions behind this edited collection, which serves to centre the authors’ own research work as material foundation for analyses that stress the indivisibility of ethics, epistemology, methodology and politics. The contributors to this book situate themselves and their research work within historical and ongoing social power relations, and account for their positions as both members of the academy and of the communities on whom, and with whom, they do research. In doing so, the scholars in this book demonstrate a keen awareness of the colonial, historical, political, and institutional conditions that inform their work and that complicate their research labour. The intro provides the objective of the book, a chapter breakdown, and summaries.
