Research & publications:
*Adapting Research Methodologies in the COVID-19 Pandemic, 2nd ed. (UTS & Univ. of Washington, Dec. 2020) [text]
- "The resources contained in the document are intended for doctoral and postdoctoral researchers in social research at the stage of research design or data collection... . Researchers at this stage may have originally relied on face-to-face forms of human interaction to collect their data and they can no longer do so due to the mobility restrictions in place worldwide. This document offers guidance on potentially useful methods to help redesign their projects."
AMMODI Recommends is a new "interactive resource for accessing Africa-based scholarship on African migration, mobility, and displacement... . [It comprises] two searchable tables: the first listing recent scholarship by Africa-based researchers, the second an index of active scholars based at African research institutions. ...It is our hope that by using the AMMODI platform to highlight Africa-based scholarship, we may encourage scholars all over the world to read new exciting work, engage with it and open up new debates and research collaborations." Suggestions for additions to the lists are welcome.
- This "online exhibition explores the power dynamics between researchers from the Global North and the Global South. The Series is a visual extension of the Silent Voices Blog: Bukavu Series, which discusses how knowledge is produced across academia and the ethical issues that arise from conducting research in conflict sites." Articles from the original blog series upon which this exhibition is based have also been compiled into a book, entitled The Bukavu Series: Towards a Decolonisation of Research.
