RESEARCHING OTHERWISE
Methodology seminar in Political Ecology, Landscape, and Urban Studies 
2021-2024, Fridays 10-12


I conducted this seminar during my tenure as the Doctoral Program Coordinator and Director at the Institute of Landscape and Urban Studies, DARCH, ETH Zurich. Researching Otherwise is a call to create alternative spaces for knowledge production. It emphasizes the potential of fluid epistemologies that respond to decolonial, pluriversal, and more-than-human ways of knowing. These approaches offer tools for reimagining and reconstructing local worlds, moving beyond the constraints of traditional developmental paradigms in research and practice.
