Engage decolonial perspectives in LIS research methodology.

âInformationâ as conceptualized in the discipline of Library and Information Science (LIS) is not neutral. LIS services increasingly, in the current digital information age, engage historical, cultural, social, economic, and political forces that interact with information. Such forces may use information to advance dominant epistemic agendas; hence there is a need for LIS researchers, students, practitioners, and other relevant stakeholders to critically interrogate and disrupt these forces in their curation of information for use in research, practice, theory development, policy application, etc.

This book engages decolonial perspectives in LIS research methodology for a transformative and critically reflexive approach to research that is community-based, culturally responsive and impactful for Indigenous and other historically marginalized communities. It positions decolonization as rejecting the privileging in scholarship of dominant western knowledge systems and intellectual traditions. Instead, it calls for the centering of perspectives, insights, and knowledges of Indigenous and other marginalized societies so that research may be inclusive of all knowledge systems, respectful of the researched, and of different ways of knowing embedded in the worldviews of others.
