| Abstract: | Decolonial research helps us move away from extractive research methodologies that maintain the "wounded subject position" and legitimize oppressive practices. Additionally, decolonial research challenges dominant Eurocentric paradigms that have historically shaped the counseling profession. Thus, we offer this article to demonstrate an approach to decolonizing research practices. This article discusses (a) the limits of traditional research approaches, (b) a demonstration of decolonized research methods in action, and (c) considerations for counselor educators and researchers. In alignment with our goal of shifting the research paradigm away from dominant and often oppressive practices, we use a collective and relatable voice that speaks to both our personal identities and our unity as a team working toward the decolonialization of academic research. |
