Who This Is For
Academic researchers, executive directors, organizational leaders, and practitioners working at the intersection of knowledge production and community impact—especially those navigating the tension between institutional mandates and ethical responsibility.
The Challenge
You are doing meaningful work, research, program design, organizational leadership, yet you feel the violence of extraction embedded in how knowledge circulates through your institution. You can name the gap between intention and impact, but accountability frameworks alone haven’t translated into transformed practice.
What This Workshop Offers
An introduction to Narrative (Re)Frame, a decolonial methodology that examines how we position ourselves historically, politically, and narratively—in relation to the communities and contexts we work within.
Through guided, collective practice, participants will engage in unlearning, listening, and reframing work that narrows the distance between:
research and lived reality
organizational mission and material impact
This is not abstract critique. It is applied, reflective practice.
In This Workshop, We Will Explore
How narrative positioning determines whose knowledge is legitimized
The mechanics of extraction in research and organizational life
Practical tools for narrative accountability and reframing
Strengthening ethical practice through narrative awareness
This is not theory alone. We will do the work together. And there will be opportunities to continue the work beyond the workshop.
