Description

The COVID-19 pandemic has made historical and contemporary colonial relationships between and within States more salient. This situation is also apparent within the research process itself, adding a new dimension to pre-existing debates on positionality and the politics of knowledge production. With reference to a research project focusing on colonial legacy and Transitional Justice in Colombia, this seminar –conducted by Claire Wright– offers a series of reflections on the ways in which the pandemic has affected research inequalities between the Global North and Global South. To conclude, we look at what COVID-19 can teach us in terms of opportunities to decolonise our research.
