Research That Heals and Transforms
Having explored relationships, spaces of resistance, and participatory approaches, the PSRR team now invites you to reflect on the conditions necessary for research to truly heal, transform, and endure.
Discover “Research That Heals and Transforms.” This video highlights the inequalities and exclusions present in research environments, and the essential institutional and collective transformations needed: equitable funding, recognition of community knowledge, tailored support, and real power-sharing. It reminds us that trust—built through concrete, solidaristic actions among Black and racialized people—is the key to engaged and transformative research.
