Abstract

This editorial argues for the decolonization of qualitative research, emphasizing the need to challenge dominant research paradigms and prioritize diverse epistemologies, inclusivity, and equity. We discuss strategies for decolonial research, including co-creation, community-based participatory research, and decentering dominant epistemologies. We also highlight the importance of power sharing, positionality awareness, and accountability in research relationships. Finally, we call for funding agencies, institutions, and peer review processes to support decolonial research practices.
