Welcome to today’s Reconcile Digest. I’m so glad you’re here, and hope you are having a wonderful summer so far.
Today’s digest revisits the third workshop in our radical research communication series, delivered back in early June. I reviewed the transcript and recording line-by-line, and it revealed new magic beyond how it unfolded live in the moment.
The transcript from this session is further proof that our words are research.
The conversations we have with each other, the imagining that happens naturally when we are collective, the problem-solving that happens in safe research spaces. Our words is the research we need to gather, archive and act on.
The quotes I’ve shared are all anonymous, with consent collected individually in the session. I have shared a little about each speaker, as their research interests and profiles add a beautiful layer of context to their words.
p.s. the reflective questions at the end are a great opportunity to consider our responses to these quotes
Imagine the convos we could have here…

How could the ‘secret sauce’ in our identities shift the way we approach our research design and methodology?
Someone introduced the idea of code-switching between academia and the real world. When we move between audiences (academics, family, the communities we research), what do we lose, and what do we gain in the translation?
Zora Neale Hurston argued that ‘scientific truth’ requires subjective experience. How might we integrate our own lived experiences more openly into our research without compromising the rigour we are trained to maintain?
until next time
