Abstract: Abstract We have argued that a radical transformation of ICCM is not merely a matter of methodological refinement, but also one of trenchant reconfiguration of the ontological, epistemological, ethical and political commitments of research practice in the field. Such a reframing is a necessary precursor to any reconsideration of methodology and methods. Given our assessment of the institutional present of ICCM in Chapter 3, it is apparent that any reconsideration of theoretical and methods commitments in ICCM needs to be supported at the institutional level. The field’s current institutional framework maintains and perpetuates the damaging modes of representation discussed in Chapters 6 and 7, and contributes simultaneously to the reproduction of the hegemony of Western knowledge systems. In this chapter, we address the possibilities of an alternative, more inclusive institutional frame that is compatible with the reconfigured commitments and alternate methods we have articulated. The central goal of this reconfiguration is to allow for the proper and effective inclusion of non-Western voices.
