Description

This book explores the meaning and practice of empowering methodologies in organisational and social research.

In a context of global academic precarity, this volume explores why empowering research is urgently needed. It discusses the situatedness of knowing and knowledge in the context of core-periphery relations between the global North and South. The book considers the sensory, affective, embodied practice of empowering research, which involves listening, seeing, moving and feeling, to facilitate a more diverse, creative and crafty repertoire of research possibilities. The essays in this volume examine crucial themes including:

· How to decolonise management knowledge

· Using imaginative, visual and sensory methods

· Memory and space in empowering research

· Empowerment and feminist methodologies

· The role of reflexivity in empowering research

By bringing postcolonial perspectives from India, the volume aims to revitalise management and organisation studies for global readers. This book will be useful for scholars and researchers of management studies, organisational behaviour, research methodology, development studies, social sciences in general and gender studies and sociology.
