Dr. Stephanie Springgay - The ethics and politics of research-creation

Performance Hall, SoCA Armouries, 37 University Ave. E.

 

Feminist scholars argue that we need research practices that break with ableist, racist, extractive, and settler colonial logics, and instead focus on ones that are situated, relational, and ethical. This means troubling our relationship with institutions and transforming the kinds of value we allow for particular forms of knowledge. It is fundamentally about practicing an ethics based on responsibility, stewardship, care, and reciprocity that centre relationships to land, territory, human and more-than-human bodies. This presentation will take up these important ethical dimensions of doing research and share some exemplifications from Dr. Springgay’s research-creation practice.
