Edit a module

With this form, you create a step-by-step module on research integrity or ethics. This can be used to provide instruction on a particular topic. You might want to use it for a tutorial, teaching material, case analysis tool, or an educational game.

Every single module is intended for just one type of user. That sets it apart. It might be that you write an instruction for a group session with a facilitator and participants. You would then need to write two pages, one with the steps for facilitators and one with the steps for participants.

Before you submit, please be aware of our community guidelines.

Do you want your training and project to be featured on the Embassy?

Feel free to contact us to discuss the options.

The course described in the podcast titled “''Transformative Research for Sustainability Challenges”,'' was born out of interviews with 71 researchers about how their work connects to societal transformation.

What emerged was a striking tension: while many researchers had high aspirations for the societal impact of their work, their day-to-day practice often fell short of those ideals.

The course supports PhD candidates to question assumptions, build solidarity, and explore new ways of doing research.

As Josephine puts it: “We’re so trained into certain ways of doing research and thinking that that’s legitimate.” The course encourages participants to reflect not just on what they study, but on why they do it—prompting questions like:

''What are your values? What do you think is important? How do you position yourself in the world and in your research field?''

The course creates space for reflection, discomfort, and reimagining. PhD candidates are encouraged to break out of their silos, engage in creative methods, and explore their emotions. Through reflection, researchers are encouraged to reclaim ownership over their own narratives of change.

At the heart of the course is the PEPE framework: Pluralizing, Empowering, Politicizing, and Embedding.

Watch this video to learn more about transformative research and the PEPE framework.

In the two steps above, we have learned about the PEPE framework.

*'''Pluralizing''' invites researchers to go beyond the superficial combining of different perspectives that's inattentive to power and to genuinely reflect on the question: how to attend different knowledge forms and navigate that plurality of different perspectives?

*'''Empowering''' tries to address the fact that in research we often communicate dry data or facts and publish them, but we don't attend to all of the emotions and perspectives that play a critical role in how we do research and the importance of ''whose'' voice matters.

*'''Politicizing''' that attends to the issue of power. We all have very different assumptions about how research might challenge power structures. And that could be more of a scholar activist perspective, but it could also be deeply collaborative.

*'''Embedding''' addresses the fact that we're operating in systems that are not necessarily always supportive of what we're doing. How do we move beyond temporary experiments to lasting institutional change?
