ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the authors explore how the encounters and indigenous epistemologies have informed actions and reactions in the everyday life of research and writing. They focus on shifting researcher positioning as insider/outsider and blendings of both in doing research in Kenya and ways in which North/South subject positions and collaborative scholarship may inform discussions of collaborative cross-cultural research methodologies. The authors unpack collaborative research undertaken together and with other Indigenous collaborators and situate decolonizing methods in a broader discussion of those relationships. They also focus on actual relationship and the collaborative process. The authors deal with separate personal narratives and a discussion of shared insights and recommendations. They explain navigated terrains of anticolonial methods and how Indigenous epistemologies have informed work and collaboration with not only each other but others in the Global South.
