Community-Engaged Research for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice Speaker Series

This session introduces and explores the concept of invitational validity, which is conceptualized as the extent to which decolonizing/co-decolonizing methodology and other methodological frameworks seek to create space for researchers to engage with Indigenous and marginalized communities to which they do not belong. Authentic, reciprocal friendships lead to invitations to enter spaces that are not organically ours and allows us to collaborate with communities regarding the creation of questions and determining the who, how and why that we seek answers to those questions.
