Abstract

A key focus in Ibali is how academics from different parts of the world research in different parts of the world. We are asking: how does our positionality shape how storytelling research is carried out, critiqued and taken forward in different contexts? This means that the team travel between Nigeria, South Africa and the UK.

So far however, a question that looms larger than our research question is: can we all get to be in the different contexts in order to research in them? 

In this blog, we share three team members’ experiences of securing permission to travel to Cape Town for a workshop.
