Abstract

Researchers who strive to build a foundation to work towards justice and lasting change for vulnerable and marginalised communities such as Indigenous and minority peoples need to learn to conduct research that draws on Indigenous visions, knowledge systems, and ways of knowing, engaging, and being. This chapter discusses ethical, epistemic, relational, and emotional concerns that are part of research with Indigenous and minority stakeholders, and showcases guidelines used by the author to deal with them when working with Taiwan’s Indigenous people on issues related to their development. The chapter intends to provide other researchers in the field with advice to help them have a more reflexive, ethical, and effective engagement with participants who are not only culturally, linguistically, and ethnically different, but also who went through dehumanising and marginalising experiences that made them some of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged groups in the society.
