Online (Global Participation) Language: ENGLISH Apply Now! Limited spaces available About the workshop: This workshop explores collective auto-narrative, situated knowledges, and relational research methods. Participants will co-create tools to reimagine research as care, relationship, and collective praxis. This workshop addresses research methods for the creation of scholar/activist knowledge with indigenous, rural and organized urban communities that seek to create decolonial research methodologies. Through participatory practices of knowledge exchange: (1) we will explore different auto-narrative types, review sample texts followed by writing practice (2) we will then work to incorporate collective forms of knowledge creation drawing on the decision-making structures of community assemblies present in many rural and indigenous communities around the world, (3) we will explore collective auto-narrative as a research method. In this process we will dismantle the construction and practice of situating knowledge in order to create collective positionalities that reflect the construction of the self within the collective contexts that we inhabit. By exploring collective forms of agency in knowledge creation, we will delve into the multiplicitous protaganisms that conglomerate in creating praxis and have the potential to resist epistemicide. This workshop will cover: - Different auto-narrative types with a specific focus on autoethnography - Methods and analyses for creating decolonial economic projects. - Understanding ourselves as situated knowers and how to position ourselves collectively. - Unlearning colonial paradigms of research and knowledge production. - Rethinking value, exchange, and labor in research. - El Cambalache as an example of an anti-capitalist and non-hierarchical research For more information including a full description and how to apply click here to download a pdf: https://cambalache.noblogs.org/files/2026/02/collective-methods-online-2026.pdf We hope you?ll join us!
