Our ethos
We value participatory and emancipatory approaches to research and development which are underpinned by a focus on equity and social justice. We believe that all people should have the opportunity to live a fulfilling life, free from racism, persecution, and prejudice.
Our principles favour approaches which develop the empowerment of people and their communities. We are committed to take a stance of non-judgemental curiosity and with that to self and group reflection based on the need to question our own assumptions, biases and prejudices. We acknowledge the power of all forms of privilege, colonisation and western paternalism and the persistence of all forms of racism, and in particular, the structural racism of higher education and medicine.
