This episode features a discussion on the theme of decolonising research impact.  Impact refers to the benefits research brings other than knowledge creation. Conventional research tends to concentrate research impact in the Global North, in the researcher’s institution or wider community. But decolonisation works towards redirecting research benefits to the Global South. In this episode will find out what decolonising impact means in practice, hearing about co-creation and co-ownership of research. Hear about some obstacles to changing entrenched research practices, and how researchers can work through these challenges.  The episode’s contributors are: ⁠Professor Clarice Mota⁠ of the Institute of Collective Health at the Federal University of Bahia, where she focuses on the public health of communities affected by social vulnerability, racial inequality, and neglected diseases. And ⁠Dr Toni Rouhana⁠ of the Centre for the Comparative Study of Civil War at the University of York, where he researches the mobilisation of religious identity in conflict and in peace. 

The podcast is created by the ⁠Interdisciplinary Global Development Centre⁠ at the University of York and is supported by the University’s Enhancing Research Culture Fund. It is engineered with ⁠Creativity Lab⁠ and is produced by ⁠Kitty Turner⁠.
