Show Notes

In this episode, Suvi Keskinen interviews Nirmal Puwar about using creative methods and rethinking social research through collaboration with various communities. Nirmal tells about the work behind her remarkable projects, such as Noise of the Past, and the collectively written book Racist Tones. The episode shows how research designs and relationships provide possibilities to develop ‘contact zones’ of exchange that open up to dialogue, different modes of telling (or not telling) and reflexive practices for expanding places together.
