Research By, For, and With: A Just and Ethical Methodology

The third video highlights the need to transform research practices by adopting an approach rooted in long-term relationships, mutual respect, and recognition of community realities, needs, and knowledge. It underscores the importance of meaningful community involvement at every stage of the research process, fair compensation, acknowledgment of invisible labour, and tangible forms of support—including language accessibility and useable formats. In this vision, research becomes a relational and ethical practice, fundamentally different from extractive models.
