In this podcast, ESR Rasika Mahajan has interviewed Dr. Bareerah Hafeez Hoorani, Asst. Professor at Radboud University and they unpack postcolonial feminism based on their own experiences and identities as South Asian women, and their journey with rediscovering themselves, their roots and their historical past. They deconstruct oppression, and talk about the connection between the past and the present as a result of colonial encounters. They discuss how this lens can be incorporated into methodology in order to conduct responsible research.
Dr. Bareerah Hafeez Hoorani is an Assistant Professor of Qualitative empirical methods at the Nijmegen School of Management, and is currently working with the Research Methods group. Her work focuses on qualitative methods, by addressing important research considerations such as rigor, case study design, selection strategies, theorizing and the role of time. Beyond her methodological research, she is also interested in understanding organizational identities and their role in crisis recovery, and is passionate about using methodologies to addressing ‘grand challenges’.
