Field work 1. Research tools to analyze narratives

An important phase in the development of a research project has to do with the data collection. This section needs to be carefully planned and designed in order to collect the best possible data. From the Western paradigm, there is pretty much a general consensus on how to go about the data collection procedures. However, since we are taking a decolonial stance in this program, much is still in need to be uncovered, discussed, understood, problematized, etc. Our purpose in this seminar is to bring several voices from the global south that have started or adventured alternative ways of knowing and of digging out data. It is our main interest that participants in the seminar design and implement data collection instruments that account for a decolonial take in research.
