The best way to introduce Reconcile Journal is simply to show you what it does. In the coming days, I’ll be sending out our first research translation.

There’s no single way to engage with this living archive: read, reflect, question, and share your thoughts as we go along. Us talking about the research will be the best part. And something else that feels important to say: as we challenge the old-school view of ‘academic research’ (which has a long-standing, double-edged-sword reputation), be open & patient with us as we redefine. I do think the methodology is new, but the research isn’t. I am hoping that our mode of communicating through both a visual & verbal language prioritises ease and pleasure for everyone engaging in it.

There are lots of future plans for where to take this and how best to utilise Reconcile Journal as a tool for public good. VERY excited about the possibilities, and equally excited about where we are now. This is a space for accessible, reality-rooted conversations about how research shapes our world, and how we can shape it back. I am thinking one research post a week (on a weekday), and another weekend post as we think through our values and ethical approach, out loud.

In the meantime, make sure you are subscribed to the newsletter to get the next one, and follow us on Instagram as we will be sharing there too in the coming weeks. If you know someone who might be interested in Reconcile Journal, please do forward it on.

Thanks for being here! Looking forward to getting started.
