- Summary:
- Disrupting and decolonizing traditional approaches to research go beyond theorizing. Instead, disruption and decolonization call for reframing the research process by understanding practical ways to conduct decolonial research in various settings. Caribbean decolonial methods are about reimagining and reconstructing the Caribbean's past, present, and future through a lens that centers the region's histories, cultures, and perspectives. It is an ongoing project of liberation, seeking not only to understand the impacts of colonialism but to actively work toward a more equitable and self-determined Caribbean. While there is no one-size-fits-all approach to decolonial work, this guide is grounded in a Caribbean onto-epistemological framing and methodology of liming. The guide highlights strategies for how to conduct decolonizing research online and face-to-face. We address key concepts in decolonizing research, including interrogation of self, respecting indigenous Caribbean knowledge, Caribbean ways of knowing, sharing power with participants as co-researchers, building trust in an online space, acting on reciprocity, and disrupting the Eurocentric approach to the research process. Additionally, we discuss how to approach positionality statements from a decolonizing lens. The guide concludes with ethical considerations when using a decolonial approach for Caribbean-based research.
