Rethinking safeguarding: an opportunity to establish a decolonial teaching framework for social research practice

Leona Vaughn

Chapter 28 in Handbook of Teaching and Learning Social Research Methods, 2023, pp 412-426 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter critically reflects upon safeguarding research practices, studies of safeguarding and related teaching experiences to identify and explore how to prepare researchers for co-developing practices which anticipate, mitigate and avoid physical and social, or tangible and symbolic, harms to the researchers, research participants and wider communities. The entrenched issues of discrimination and ‘coloniality’ are approached here as social harms which social research practice should not only actively resist complicity with, but intentionally work towards eradicating in all of its forms. It is proposed that when we orientate ourselves towards the perspectives and the needs of those who are potential victims of harm, a decolonial safeguarding framework can be a teaching and learning tool for developing broader anticolonial social research practice.
