Podcast: Equity in research collaboration
Creating equity in research collaboration sounds straightforward – but it often isn’t. Whilst everyone can agree that finding ways to balance the power, resources and benefits between all partners is the right thing to do, there is often difficulty in translating aspirations for “equitable partnerships” into practical action. This can be due to complex factors such as colonial legacies and structural power imbalances in research ecosystems.
How can these challenges be overcome? To find out, IDS Director Peter Taylor speaks to Margarita Gómez, Executive Director from Southern Voice and Kaia Ambrose, Director, Strategy, Evaluation and Learning from the International Development Research Centre (IDRC).
In this Between the Lines podcast they discuss why equity in research collaboration matters and talk about the challenges in achieving it, and practical steps toward action and accountability.
