Researching Displacement Together : Co-producing Knowledge with Women in Colombia

Abstract

This book showcases how to co-produce research when we are unable to meet in the same geographical space. It details a remote and hybrid audio-visual participatory methodology through which women share their experiences of displacement, gender, and the city. Writing as researchers and filmmakers in the UK and Colombia, alongside 24 displaced women in Bogotá and Medellín, this participatory audio-visual project explores displacement from the women’s perspectives. The book is innovative in its collaborative writing and its combination of audio-visual and textual material. It presents a methodology for remote and hybrid research, advocating for more inclusive, equitable, and decolonising research interactions. Through three co-written chapters, it contributes to themes of displacement, gender, and the city, as displaced women share testimonies and audio-visual outputs, revealing experiences of violence, conflict, and aspirations for change as they rebuild their lives. This book stands out for its collaborative authorship and integration of text with audio-visual material, offering rich insights. It will interest researchers and practitioners working inside and outside universities who are interested in developing remote, hybrid, and audio-visual participatory methodologies, as well as those who want to understand more about displacement and the challenges of urban resettlement from women’s perspectives.
