The conversation, moderated by Professor <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/people\/jeremy-adelman\/\">Jeremy Adelman<\/a> (Princeton University), revolved around contributors\u2019 and editors\u2019 personal experiences as historians, the challenges of the concept of the \u201cright to research,\u201d and the opportunities and difficulties they face while striving to change the way historical scholarship is produced while in displacement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Jeremy Adelman opened the discussion by asking how this anthology came to be. <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/people\/marcia-c-schenck\/\">Professor Marcia C. Schenck<\/a>, one of the book&#8217;s editors, responded by stating that the anthology is an effort to confront the suppression of particular accounts and collections of historical records. These silences on the archival and narrative production level were initially drawn to Prof. Schenck\u2019s attention in 2016, when she worked as a teaching assistant for a global history course taught to refugee learners in Kakuma Refugee Camp. <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/people\/gerawork-gizaw\/\">Gerawork Gizaw<\/a>, one of her students who went on to become a contributor to the volume, raised the fact that refugees and displaced people were largely missing from large-scale historical narratives, and that even fewer refugees were present as historians authoring those narratives. With the Global History Lab at Princeton University, this prompted her to develop the Global History Dialogues Project, which trains student-researchers with all kinds of relationships to citizenship and statelessness in oral history research methods, and supports them in conducting original oral history research on topics of their choice. It was from the context of this course that all of the essays in <em>The Right to Research<\/em> first developed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Jeremy Adelman then turned to some of those research projects. <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/people\/alain-jules-hirwa\/\">Alain Jules Hirwa<\/a> delved into how hip-hop culture in Kenya can function as a mental migration and an expression of political dissent. Gerawork Gizaw focused on refugee education in the Kakuma camp by looking at the historical perspective of education quality versus expansion. Jeremy asked the participants to expand on the idea of becoming a researcher for people who are from the Global South or forced migration background. For <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/people\/lazha-taha\/\">Lazha Taha<\/a>, becoming a researcher proved that her interests in Kurdish photojournalism and archive preservation hold professional and academic value. <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/people\/muna-omar\/\">Muna Omar<\/a>, as a person from a refugee and marginalized background, expressed the systemic challenges and biases within academia. For her, becoming a researcher allowed her to start dismantling the mentality that normalized the unfair treatment of refugees in Yemen. For <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/people\/sandrine-cyuzuzo-iribagiza\/\">Sandrine Cyuzuzo Iribagiza<\/a>, becoming a researcher who analyzes Intore traditional dance involved working with others and using various sources to create a final product.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Expanding from the position of the researcher, <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/people\/ismail-alkhateeb\/\">Ismail Alkhateeb<\/a> emphasized the importance of empathy and active listening in building a comfortable and safe environment for interviewees when conducting oral history research. As<a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/people\/richesse-ndiritiro\/\"> Richesse Ndiritiro<\/a> echoed, the researcher is not a passive entity and their personal experience as a refugee and a researcher can help avoid biased narratives in research.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The concept of \u201cthe right to research\u201d is a reference to Arjun Appadurai\u2019s essay with the same title, in which he defines the right to research as a \u201cright of a special kind,\u201d a right to \u201cmake disciplined inquiries into those things we need to know, but do not know yet\u201d (p. 167). This right becomes fundamental to leading a meaningful life in a democratic society as a citizen. However, Marcia Schenck drew attention to necessary additions to Appadurai\u2019s definition: \u201cFirst of all, the right to research in the sense of inquiring into the things that we do not know yet and finding out about them in a systematic way is \u00a0fundamentally important \u2026 to people in all sorts of different spheres of life.\u201d Indeed, the concept becomes even more critical for those who are partially or fully outside of the regimes of citizenship. Additionally, Marcia Schenck stated, \u201cresearch is not something that happens in your individual room, by yourself, but it is something that happens in exchange with your interview partners, colleagues, and collaborators.\u201d Gerawork Gizaw comments on this second aspect and states that not having access to this right means outsourcing the understanding and problem-solving capacities of an individual. The right to research, then, involves having the space to tell one\u2019s story and share one\u2019s experiences, especially in the context of refugee camps. In other words, the right to research is interpersonal and conversational.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After the panelists shared their personal experiences as researchers, they reflected on the impact of their research across academic, community, and policy spaces. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/people\/aime-parfait-emerusenge\/\">Aime Parfait Emerusenge<\/a>, studies included in the anthology provide a blueprint for collaboration between the Global North and Global South while highlighting the importance of discussing social realities, including displacement and cultural preservation. Kate Reed expanded on the idea of a conversation because each section in the anthology starts with a letter from the author addressing the reader, which acknowledges the position of the reader as a stakeholder in historical scholarship. Additionally, <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/people\/kate-reed\/\">Kate Reed<\/a> frames the anthology as an archive because \u201ceach contributor built their own archive of interviews with people in their local communities in contexts.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/people\/phocas-maniraguha\/\">Phocas Maniraguha<\/a>, for example, conducted research on traditional healers in East Africa, which highlights the importance of preserving the knowledge of older generations and making it accessible to younger generations and the wider community. Phocas Maniraguha\u2019s research bridges the gap between academic researchers, policymakers, and community practitioners.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Q&amp;A portion of the event tackled various topics ranging from ethical research with traumatized groups to the limits of the \u201cright to research.\u201d While Muna Omar stated that the interviewees could feel safe more easily with researchers from marginalized backgrounds, Sandrine Iribagiza emphasized that the right to research as a concept goes beyond the boundaries of academia. Lazha Taha commented on the importance of this anthology in the field of forced migration and historical scholarship: \u201cThis book is a good way to learn about a diverse set of people from the world talking about their lives and struggles, and that\u2019s what will make us contribute to each other\u2019s shared knowledge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To conclude the event, each contributor and editor shared their final thoughts about what they\u2019d like listeners to walk away from the conversation with. Sandrine Iribagiza shared that research plays a crucial role both at a personal level and in our societies at large, and that we need to share research-based knowledge to inform policy. Ismail Alkhateeb shared his aspiration for an \u201cinclusive history\u201d that gives \u201cagency to those who are, in traditional research practices, framed as victims or treated as subjects of studies.\u201d Phocas Maniraguha shared his hope that more young people in Eastern Africa are able to engage in research and build community. Lazha Taha noted that projects like this expose us to the diversity of the world, but also to shared problems and solutions. Alain Hirwa encouraged us to approach the world around us with greater curiosity and a researcher\u2019s sensibility, to engage in the creation of our own research and archives. Richesse Ndiritiro noted that detailed historical research can open up the question of \u201cwho is a refugee\u201d to policymakers, and that involving refugees in research can help address the challenges displaced people face. They are not just part of a vulnerable population, but crucial contributors and authors of research. \u00a0Aime Parfait Emerusenge emphasized the importance of research raising up untold stories and helping us take action. Muna Omar noted that refugees are often seen as \u201cstatic numbers\u201d in the news, and that research and history writing can help illuminate the humanity of these individuals and create better humanitarian responses. Gerawork Gizaw addressed the issue of education and mobility. Technology has helped him obtain research training and other opportunities without mobility, and he hopes that a culture of doing research also develops as a result of this communication and exchange. Marcia Schenck stressed an understanding of the right to research as dialogical, in which refugees and others on the move have the ability to conduct a systematic inquiry, but also the ability to be taken seriously as producers and bearers of knowledge. Much of the onus falls on those of us within academic and policy spaces to shift the institutional, funding, and epistemic landscapes to create more horizontal, diverse discussions. Kate Reed, drawing on the conclusion of the anthology (which was coauthored by all of the contributors and editors), reflected on the importance of continuing to engage in work that facilitates new forms of knowledge production, while always remaining critically attentive to their limitations, and invited the audience to continue the conversations opened by the book and the webinar.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content-wrapper content-wrapper--shortcode\">\n\t<div class=\"cards-wrapper\">\n\t\t<div class=\"u-post-reload\">\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"card card--videos-list equalheight\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/8VnGTiJ1XMQ\" class=\"card__link ccms__fancybox\" data-caption=\"Book Launch: The Right to Research\" data-link=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/cu-videos\/book-launch-the-right-to-research\/\">\n\n\t<div class=\"card__video-thumb equalimages\">\n\n\t\t<svg viewBox=\"0 0 100 100\" class=\"card__video-button\">\n\t\t\t<use xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" xlink:href=\"#video-player\"><\/use>\n\t\t\t<title>Watch video: Book Launch: The Right to Research<\/title>\n\t\t\t<desc>Video play icon<\/desc>\n\t\t<\/svg>\n\n\t\t<img width=\"360\" height=\"203\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-content\/uploads\/book-launch-the-right-to-researc-360x203.jpg\" class=\"card__image card__image--video wp-post-image\" alt=\"Thumbnail for: Book Launch: The Right to Research\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Watch Video: Book Launch: The Right to Research\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-content\/uploads\/book-launch-the-right-to-researc-360x203.jpg 360w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-content\/uploads\/book-launch-the-right-to-researc-240x135.jpg 240w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-content\/uploads\/book-launch-the-right-to-researc-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-content\/uploads\/book-launch-the-right-to-researc-160x90.jpg 160w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-content\/uploads\/book-launch-the-right-to-researc-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-content\/uploads\/book-launch-the-right-to-researc-200x113.jpg 200w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-content\/uploads\/book-launch-the-right-to-researc.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<h3 class=\"card__heading u-hide-in-toc\">Book Launch: The Right to Research<\/h3>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"card card--videos-list equalheight\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/GhHTPE_WJsM\" class=\"card__link ccms__fancybox\" data-caption=\"The Right to Research: Interview with Ismail Alkhateeb\" data-link=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/cu-videos\/right-to-research-interview-ismail-alkhateeb\/\">\n\n\t<div class=\"card__video-thumb equalimages\">\n\n\t\t<svg viewBox=\"0 0 100 100\" class=\"card__video-button\">\n\t\t\t<use xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" xlink:href=\"#video-player\"><\/use>\n\t\t\t<title>Watch video: The Right to Research: Interview with Ismail Alkhateeb<\/title>\n\t\t\t<desc>Video play icon<\/desc>\n\t\t<\/svg>\n\n\t\t<img width=\"360\" height=\"203\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-content\/uploads\/the-right-to-research-interview-3-360x203.jpg\" class=\"card__image card__image--video wp-post-image\" alt=\"Thumbnail for: The Right to Research: Interview with Ismail Alkhateeb\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Watch Video: The Right to Research: Interview with Ismail Alkhateeb\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-content\/uploads\/the-right-to-research-interview-3-360x203.jpg 360w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-content\/uploads\/the-right-to-research-interview-3-240x135.jpg 240w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-content\/uploads\/the-right-to-research-interview-3-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-content\/uploads\/the-right-to-research-interview-3-160x90.jpg 160w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-content\/uploads\/the-right-to-research-interview-3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-content\/uploads\/the-right-to-research-interview-3-200x113.jpg 200w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/wp-content\/uploads\/the-right-to-research-interview-3.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<h3 class=\"card__heading u-hide-in-toc\">The Right to Research: Interview with Ismail Alkhateeb<\/h3>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"card card--videos-list equalheight\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/VEdOhtm8RI8\" class=\"card__link ccms__fancybox\" data-caption=\"The Right To Research: Interview with Kate Reed, Marcia C.
