Foreword. Researching on Storied Lands: Reflexivity, Sovereignty, and the Ethics of Migration Research
摘要
This volume, Researching Migration on Indigenous Lands: Challenges, Reflections, Pathways, emerges at a critical moment in academic and societal discourses about migration, Indigenous sovereignty, and the legacies of colonialism. It asks fundamental questions about the ethics of researching migration on unceded lands, challenging scholars to recognize their positionalities and responsibilities within settler-colonial systems. This book does not merely critique; it charts pathways for transformation, offering scholars practical frameworks to move beyond token acknowledgment toward sustained engagement with Indigenous sovereignties. It calls for a relational ethics that foregrounds responsibility, humility, and reciprocity—ethics that challenge the extractive tendencies of traditional research methodologies and redefine what it means to work in partnership with Indigenous communities and on storied lands.
