Exploring Restorative Intercultural Practices : Fire Stories - Alison Phipps

Offers both a guide in restorative narrative methods for use with marginalised and exploited groups,�and examples of what successful, guided work can look like in practice. This book is a groundbreaking introduction to restorative intercultural practices. It explores the understanding of the narration and positionality of the researcher in a more-than-human world. Following a collaborative, call and response structure, the book explores how Indigenous people and refugees can lead the development of research methods in social scientific research.�It shows how practices from `back home' and `on the land' might be taught to researchers for ethical and consensual use. Beginning with�the practices of�the dar� from Southern Africa and pepeha from Aotearoa New Zealand it offers a fresh discourse of restorative narrative research methodology. Above all it is an insight into how innovative academic work can develop from a context that prioritises collaboration, care and a holistic approach to humans and their experiences.
