On Thursday, January 30, 2025, at 12:30 PM Eastern, join us on YouTube Live for the second installment of Enough, a series of unscripted lunchtime talks hosted by our founder, Jessa Agilo.
In this session, Jessa will share personal reflections and key insights into our journey to rethink knowledge research and mobilization in ways that center people, respect, and community.
For too long, research in fields like academia, marketing, and even community projects have relied on practices that can be extractive, exploitative, or inaccessible. These approaches often prioritize collecting data over respecting the people involved, ignore the knowledge already present in communities, and produce findings that are difficult for most people to understand, use, or claim ownership of.
Our organization is committed to co-creating a different path. We are working toward knowledge research and mobilization practices that are ethical, inclusive, and rooted in care. This is your chance to learn about the values and principles shaping our approach as we ask the important questions about what it means to truly do enough.
This session will explore:
- The challenges of transforming how we gather and share knowledge.
- The guiding principles behind our community-centered and accessible approach.
- The question at the heart of our work: Are we doing enough to create real, meaningful change?
This is more than a talk, It is an open conversation about the possibilities and challenges of reshaping research. Whether you are curious, passionate about change, or simply looking for a fresh perspective, we welcome your thoughts and ideas.
Join us to reflect, question, and dream of better ways to create and share knowledge. Together, we can build a future where research is a tool for empowerment and understanding.
The language of the presentation is English with auto captions. French captions will be added in the recording to be shared afterwards.
