“Research for social justice expands and improves the conditions for justice; it is an intellectual, cognitive and moral project, often fraught, never complete, but worthwhile”

― Linda Tuhiwai Smith, Decolonizing Methodologies: Research and Indigenous Peoples

Global movements like #MeToo and #BlackLivesMatter have reignited calls for social justice in international development. Many donors and non-governmental organizations are responding but still struggle to address systemic inequality and decolonize their work. Development research can be a critical tool in these efforts. Reimagining systems and fostering equality and social justice requires us to ask: How can we decolonize research and disrupt unequal gender and power relations? How can the research process itself be transformative and an opportunity for co-liberation? What practical tools and steps facilitate power sharing? How can research, like gender analyses, be used to advance decolonization and social justice?

Join the virtual webinar for a thought-provoking conversation with researchers, social justice advocates, and development practitioners as we discuss examples and practical ways forward.
