This session on ‘Decolonising research’ examines how colonial ideologies might influence research conducted in humanitarian and development settings, including assumptions made about communities, decision-making about research, how we privilege certain knowledge over others, and how we analyse and present research. It also explores strategies for decolonising throughout the research process, grounding these in feminist reflexivity.
