Missing methods and epistemic injustice
Users of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) have been historically left out of research. Within knowledge production, we see a prioritisation of the spoken voice in a hierarchy that at worst excludes, and at best subjugates, mediated voices. This scoping review sought studies involving AAC users as research participants, to identify practical lessons that could help inform data collection strategies to address this gap. We identifie…
Places to be young
The touristification of Old Havana is resulting in unique patterns of gentrification that rely on a new spatial imaginary, the enforcement of which is resulting in the loss of places for residents to be young. The Cuban state’s preservation of significant proportions of social housing as part of its investments in the heritage tourism industry is disrupting common housing-led displacement in the city. The neighbourhood’s economic transition is co…
From ‘No’ to ‘Know’
This paper addresses epistemic violence in social science research, drawing on a multiyear study with marginalized teenagers in Old Havana, Cuba to articulate an onto-epistemological approach to knowledge production that can contribute to the decoloniality of knowledge production. Building on decolonial, feminist, Indigenous, and poststructuralist theories, the heuristic presented here contributes an alternative to conventional positivist underst…
Research, rigour, and rape
My argument in this short reflection is that, currently, the formal systems and institutional cultures of research organizations enable gender-based violence (GBV) in fieldwork by ignoring or denying its existence. By ignoring the ubiquity of GBV in fieldwork, we are failing to prepare for it, leaving people unnecessarily vulnerable, and making it difficult to address its impacts. I identify three areas that require our attention: silence about G…

Eso no se dice’
Plans and policies rely on knowledge about communities that is often made by actors outside of the community. Exclusion from the creation of knowledge is a function of exclusion from power. Marxists, feminist, decolonial and postmodernist theorists have documented how the knowledge of some subjects is disqualified based on their gender, race, socio-economic position or a range of other constructed differences. Often, several of these construction…
Rights, justice and climate resilience
Recent transformative resilience research calls for urban climate interventions that better meet the needs of low-income and other marginalized groups. Such initiatives, it is suggested, must move beyond technocratic and superficial solutions to address the systems and structures that create climate vulnerability. While these are important theoretical developments, there is still much to be learned about how to support transformative resilience o…
