About TRIP
The Transformative Research in Practice (TRIP) Collective aims to explore and develop methods of creating and sharing knowledge, that foreground creativity, making, inclusion, many forms of thinking, social-cohesion, communing with the more than human, and working together for social justice for all. Researchers in the TRIP project come from a wide range of disciplines in order to find ways to collectively achieve these goals. We believe that social and epistemological transformation towards critically engaged, equitable and creative communities is possible through mindfulness and experimentation with how we do and share our research; what, where and how we teach, and through finding ways to disrupt inherited boundaries that maintain hegemonic discourses. We recognize that to achieve our aims requires disobedience in Freirean and Decolonial terms. We are committed to disrobing the arbitrary disciplinary boundaries we have inherited. We work hard to challenge occidental, racist, heteronormative, patriarchal hierarchies of knowledge constructed as part of the colonial matrix.

We work hard to challenge occidental, racist, heteronormative, patriarchal hierarchies of knowledge constructed as part of the colonial matrix. Transformation starts when we collectively orientate our academic, creative, pedagogical and social practices towards social justice. We welcome inter-disciplinary collaboration with like-minded miscreants!
This website showcases various TRIP projects, research in progress and presents an archive of past TRIP events. As the collective and our shared activities grow, we aim to share research, and pedagogical resources with our academic community.
