Description
There are frequent public consultations, community engagements, and focus groups — but how inclusive and equitable are they? The ways that social purpose organizations have hosted focus groups and collected data have deeply engrained colonial practices of data extraction. But what does data sovereignty mean? How can your team practice it? Which social purpose organizations are pursuing research and community engagement in a decolonized way that builds relationships? Community organizations share how they shifted their practices.
