Summary

Our understanding of truth is being reshaped. This challenge deepens when considering how truth intersects with shifting views on data ownership, knowledge extraction, and inclusivity. Researchers must respect participants' ownership of their narratives and foster intersectional inclusivity to uncover more equitable truths. This discussion explores practical strategies for understanding what equitable truth means in a world of disinformation, where both participants and researchers are increasingly questioning the meaning of true inclusivity in our field.

Key Insights

  • Disinformation reshapes the understanding of truth and impacts research trustworthiness.

  • Researchers must respect participants' ownership of their narratives to foster inclusivity.

  • Organizational goals can conflict with ethical research practices; alignment is key.

  • Acknowledging one's positionality is crucial for ethical research practices.

  • Technology, particularly AI, contributes to the proliferation of disinformation and biases.

  • Community-based partnerships can help build authentic relationships with marginalized groups.

  • Transparency in research and design processes can regenerate trust with participants.

  • Informed consent is fundamental, and boards should oversee ethical standards in research.

  • Engaging participants meaningfully leads to better insights and higher engagement.

  • Courage is required to challenge organizational norms and advocate for equitable practices.
