If you’re going out into the world to do your own primary research, make sure you’re conducting your research in a way that is respectful of your participants and the process.
Cultures and communities will have their own protocols for conducting research, so please make sure you’re aware of the protocols and follow them during your research. If you’re planning to do research in Indigenous communities, please make sure you’re conducting research with them, not on them, and agree in advance how you can reciprocate the sharing of knowledge.
