In this chapter, poetry is used as a powerful medium to convey the collective experiences of the author and her participants, making their stories accessible to women with similar backgrounds. Poetry, as an art form, served as a counter storytelling method, offering a novel approach to communicating research findings, generating new ways of knowing, eliciting multiple and reflexive meanings, and offering fresh insights. By drawing on personal experiences and those of research participants, the author examined how institutionalized knowledge production perpetuates racial and gender biases. Adding to the decoloniality project, the chapter underscores the importance of creating scholarly spaces for uncomfortable yet necessary conversations about racist and misogynistic constructions and the ongoing struggle for race-gender equity. Thus, emphasizing a more collective responsibility to challenge and dismantle oppressive structures, advocating for a more inclusive and equitable academic environment.

摘要

In this chapter, poetry is used as a powerful medium to convey the collective experiences of the author and her participants, making their stories accessible to women with similar backgrounds. Poetry, as an art form, served as a counter storytelling method, offering a novel approach to communicating research findings, generating new ways of knowing, eliciting multiple and reflexive meanings, and offering fresh insights. By drawing on personal experiences and those of research participants, the author examined how institutionalized knowledge production perpetuates racial and gender biases. Adding to the decoloniality project, the chapter underscores the importance of creating scholarly spaces for uncomfortable yet necessary conversations about racist and misogynistic constructions and the ongoing struggle for race-gender equity. Thus, emphasizing a more collective responsibility to challenge and dismantle oppressive structures, advocating for a more inclusive and equitable academic environment.
