"This book explores the meaning and practice of empowering methodologies in organizational and social research. In a context of global academic precarity, this volume explores why empowering research is urgently needed. It discusses the situatedness of knowing and knowledge in the context of core-periphery relations between the global North and South. The book considers the sensory, affective, embodied practice of empowering research which involves listening, seeing, moving, and feeling, to facilitate a more diverse, creative, and crafty repertoire of research possibilities. The essays in this volume examine crucial themes including: How to decolonize management knowledge, Using imaginative, visual, and sensory methods, Memory and space in empowering research, Empowerment and feminist methodologies, The role of reflexivity in empowering research. By bringing postcolonial perspectives from India, the volume aims to revitalize management and organization studies for global readers. This book will be useful for scholars and researchers of management studies, organizational behaviour, research methodology, development studies, social sciences in general and gender studies and sociology"--
