Approach

Three Research Pillars

Our work is structured around three interconnected pillars that advance the rights and dignity of communities in the Caribbean region and globally. Each pillar delivers evidence-based research that informs policy and drives transformative change.

01
Decolonial Research and Policy

Research rooted in fieldwork with community collaborators, challenging extractive practices and centering local knowledge to inform global, regional, and national policy.

02
Heritage and Memory Work

Working to disrupt silences at in archives and other heritage institutions, ensuring that marginalized stories are preserved, honored, and accessible for future generations.

03
Monitoring and Community Impact

Evaluating programmes and assessing social impact in collaboration with affected communities. Ensuring accountability through community-led evaluation and supporting the development of programmes that serve justice and dignity.

We're here to build lasting relationships. Through creativity, strategy, and heart, we help ideas come to life. Every project we take on is an opportunity to learn, grow, and do something meaningful. We treat communities like partners and our work like craft.

Our Ethos

We deliver analysis and storytelling that challenge dominant narratives and offer fresh perspectives to empower governments, organizations, and communities in building more equitable systems where every voice matters.

  • We are inherent parts of the research landscapes we study, committing ourselves to develop research capacity for decades to come — from the Caribbean to global partnerships.

  • Documenting experiences through qualitative research methods that honor context and complexity, ensuring research serves communities and not just institutional agendas.

  • Creating space for stories that challenge dominant narratives. Practicing deep listening that recognizes community expertise and respects the rhythms of trust-building.

  • Research conducted in collaboration with Indigenous knowledge holders, and community experts, ensuring that those most affected lead the way.

  • We partner with universities and students to integrate up-to-date knowledge into our work while nurturing the next generation of academics and changemakers who will shape tomorrow's solutions.
