Title: Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in Research
Summary: Research is a political act and research methods have not always been utilized for the benefit of all. This talk will explore how research, influenced by 'white logic and white methods', has contributed to the systemic exclusion of knowledge. We will strategize how to enhance Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives in research by increasing representation of diverse groups, ensuring equitable access to knowledge, and dismantling the power imbalance through active participation of research participants.
