Sydney Health Ethics Conversation Series
Co-research for knowledge justice

Hi everyone,

Please join us for our next SHE Conversation Series with A/Prof J. River.
Speaker
A/Prof J. River
Honorary A/Prof Sydney School of Public Health, Faculty of Medicine and Health, 
University of Sydney
A/Prof Faculty of Health, University of Technology Sydney.

I am an academic who is grappling with how to centre historically marginalised 
communities in knowledge production and dissemination, to challenge what 
research might be, and who it might be for. I have a program of funded 
co-designed/co-produced research, and I support lived experience-led projects. 
I have co-produced and co-evaluated a model of research partnership known as 
‘Raising the Bar’, and I have been invited by lead agencies to co-design guides 
to participatory research (including the widely disseminated Co-design 
Kickstarter guide).
Abstract
Co-research for knowledge justice

Despite long-held demands for ‘nothing about us without us’ from disability, 
consumer/survivor, and peer movements, people with lived experience still tend 
to be recruited as subjects rather than active agents in research, or they are 
consulted in tokenistic and ad-hoc ways. The systemic marginalising of people 
with lived experience in knowledge production has been described as an 
‘epistemic injustice’ that maintains knowledge hegemonies. Although 
participatory research (e.g., co-research, co-design research, co-production 
research, lived experience-led research) has the potential to rectify epistemic 
disparities, efforts towards systemic change are often derailed by entrenched 
power dynamics and organisational (un)readiness. In this conversation, I ask, 
what does it mean to centre communities in knowledge production, why does it 
matter, and what would it take to change research practice? I also discuss 
levels of research participation, community expectations for involvement, 
processes and mindsets for co-research, and some key barriers to meaningful 
change.
