“I came to theory because I was hurting — the pain within me was so intense that I could not go on living. I came to theory desperate, wanting to comprehend — to grasp what was happening around and within me. Most importantly, I wanted to make the hurt go away. I saw in theory then a location for healing.”
— bell hooks
PSRR was born of that same impulse.We believe in research that heals — research rooted in our bodies, our experiences, and our struggles. The Platform for the Self-determination of Racialized People in Research (PSRR) creates collective spaces for those whose knowledge and lived experiences are often dismissed or invalidated in the research community, so they can come together, see themselves reflected in one another, and imagine new ways of doing things — together.
"One of the biggest lessons I learned through participating in PSRR’s activities is that my knowledge is valid."
