本文的目的是挑战和解决嵌入灾害和气候变化研究以及一般研究中的传统知识生产系统的局限性。它认为，研究过程中的知识生产符合殖民主义思维或受西方启发的方法。这种制度往往由于知识生产缺乏参与、包容和多样性而导致关键信息的遗漏。设计/方法/方法本文提出了在灾害和气候变化研究以及一般研究中非殖民化知识生产的实践和建议。它提供了对知识和认识论自由的非殖民化概念及其起源的简要文献综述；评估知识非殖民化的必要性，强调在脆弱社区，特别是在全球南方调查灾害和危机的情况下，从基层妇女领导的倡议中整合当地知识；最后，提出通过激活共同学习和共同生产来实现知识生产的非殖民化。这些实践是从相关作者在该领域的工作和案例研究中发展而来的。通过对以往关于知识非殖民化主题的论述的简要文献回顾，以及对最近关于灾难和危机管理以及社区恢复力的案例研究的分析，本文发现认识论缺乏多元化和包容性，这限制了在研究中追求获得知识生产的全部真相。原创性/价值本文增加了对灾害和气候变化研究领域知识非殖民化的讨论，以及一般的研究过程。它深入分析了最近关于新兴社区复原力和当地做法的案例研究，这些案例在面对2019年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）危机时至关重要。
PurposeThe purpose of the paper is to challenge and address the limitations of the traditional system of knowledge production that is embedded in disaster and climate change research studies, and research studies in general. It argues that knowledge production in research processes conforms to colonialist thinking or west-inspired approaches. Such a system often results in the omission of crucial information due to a lack of participation, inclusion and diversity in knowledge production.Design/methodology/approachThe paper proposes practices and recommendations to decolonise knowledge production in disaster and climate change research studies, and research studies in general. It provides a brief literature review on the concepts of decolonisation of knowledge and epistemological freedom, and its origins; assesses the need for knowledge decolonisation, emphasising on the integration of local knowledge from grassroots women-led initiatives in instances where disasters and crises are being investigated in vulnerable communities, especially in the Global South; and finally the paper proposes to decolonise knowledge production through activating co-learning and co-production. The practices have been developed from the work of relevant authors in the field and case studies.FindingsThrough a brief literature review on previous discourses on the topic of knowledge decolonisation and analysis of recent case studies on disaster and crisis management and community resilience, the paper finds that there exists a lack of pluralism and inclusion in epistemology which limits the pursuit to obtain the whole truth in the production of knowledge in research studies.Originality/valueThis paper adds to the discussion of decolonisation of knowledge in the field of disaster and climate change research studies, and research processes in general. It provides in-depth analyses of recent case studies of emerging community resilience and local practices that were crucial in the face of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) crisis.
