Abstract

How can we not only theorize repair, but foster repair within our research processes? In this lecture Saskia Duijs will share from their experiences using photography to build a relational, collaborative, and reparative research practice. Drawing from research projects with low-paid care workers and refugee women, Duijs will go into the methodological possibilities and ethical dilemmas of visual and arts-based research.

Speaker

Dr. Saskia Duijs is an assistant professor working at the Department of Ethics, Law and Humanities at the Amsterdam University Medical Centre. Duijs aims to understand how societal inequalities trickle down into workplaces, shaping the health and wellbeing of (care)workers, using participatory, arts-based, and intersectional research approaches.

The REPAIR lectures

The REPAIR lectures are an interdisciplinary lecture series on contemporary reparations demands and policies around the globe. They are given by leading reparations experts and investigate how reparations claims and policies come about, how they play out from a political, economic and moral perspective, and what they may teach us about politics and economics today. The lectures are hosted by the REPAIR project, based at the Anthropology Department of the University of Amsterdam (UvA). They are co-sponsored by the UvA’s Amsterdam Centre for Conflict Studies (ACCS).
