Idea featured: Designing the Otherwise, by Irene Luque Martín

Theme: How can we fund other forms of knowing?
In this episode we listen to “Designing the Otherwise” by Irene Luque Martín and question how our current systems value knowledge — and whose knowledge counts. We discuss how feminist, decolonial, and indigenous perspectives could reshape research, and what it would take to fund open-ended, critical, and plural ways of knowing.

We discuss examples of participatory and community-led approaches and discuss how competition, standardisation, and rigid timelines restrict our research imagination. What might happen if we treated research as a shared process rather than a product, one that welcomes uncertainty, slower rhythms, and collaboration across differences?
