remaking ethics
These papers form an integrated inquiry into research ethics, not as compliance or afterthought, but as onto-epistemological and infrastructural praxis.
Rooted in feminist new materialism and relational ethics, with this work, I trace how ethics is entangled with the making, governing, and sharing of knowledge. I intervene at a different stage of the research process, challenging dominant academic structures and proposing alternatives that are situated, embodied, and co-created.
Together, with this work I offer a sustained and multi-placed argument for a remaking of academic ethics: from method to material, citation to circulation, and policy to practice. I move from critique to proposal, and from individual refusal to collective transformation.
With these works, I call for a relational, justice-oriented, and creatively embodied research ethics fit for our contemporary moments.
making ethics: praxis of care, refusal, and becoming.
With this work I trouble the proceduralisation of ethics in academic systems and proposes a shift toward ethics as relational, iterative, and materially embedded. Drawing on Barad, Puig de la Bellacasa, and Ahmed, I remake research ethics as a becoming-with, grounded in care and refusal rather than oversight and compliance.
the practice of making ethics: methodological entanglements and speculative governance- With this work I extend this theory into methodological practice. I explore how ethics is enacted with intra-active entanglements of method, reflexivity, materiality, and place. Refusing the divide between data and subjectivity, with this work, I foreground the ethical labour of doing research as sensorial, spatial, and affective acts.
making research public: ethics, politics, and the power of plural dissemination- Here I address the ethical stakes of research dissemination. I critique the epistemic violence of dominant citation economies, publishing infrastructures, and text-based legitimacy. I call for structural remaking of assessment frameworks, publishing platforms, and doctoral pedagogy. So, that multimodal, collaborative, and publicly engaged research is not just permitted, but centred.
