Towards Transformative Research by Kontrapunkte (ZGF)

Josephine Eberhardt on Kontrapunkte – global. solidarisch. transformativ.
COVID-19 uncovered interlocked systems of exploitation and discrimination for human and non-human life. In these unprecedented times, people face a global turnover that challenges the lived “normal” in a way that social research has to face societal changes in new ways. This article calls for a paradigm shift and poses open questions for further reflection; an invitation to think against the grain, but towards Transformative Research.
