Excited to share the latest research from our post-doctoral researcher, Dr. Eda Elif Tibet, a member of the Land Systems and Sustainability Transformations research team. The paper: "Shifting Research Paradigms: Indigenized Multimodalities as a Collaborative Engagement Pathway for Bridging Transdisciplinarity," is now available in Journal des Anthropologues (2024).⁠

​

How can we break academic silos and foster real collaboration between policy, science, and the arts? This paper introduces Indigenized Multimodalities, a method developed through the Bridging Values project and EthnoKino’s Doc Impact Lab. Inspired by Malcolm Ferdinand’s double fractures, it proposes a three-step framework for navigating research beyond colonial dualities—integrating narratives, fostering relational collaborations, and shifting paradigms for systemic change.

​

Through ethno-fiction films, impact storytelling, and science outreach, we can build bridges between continents and communities. Let’s rethink research as a dialogical, multimodal, and emancipatory practice!
