Abstract
T his talk will draw on reflections from interdisciplinary and multi metho d research in Pakistan across two projects: the Education, Justice, and Memory Network which uses a values framework to find ways to teach and l earn about violent pasts while working toward more just futures, and an oral history project of the life histories of women public servants. I d raw on outputs from these projects (story books, oral history narratives , and short films) to discuss the value of bringing different voices and partnerships, methods and practices to bear on studying South Asian com munities, their past and present, and hopes for the future. Emphasizing local voices and partnerships in the production and dissemination of kno wledge, I suggest that we establish an anti-colonial ethos rooted in car e and generosity in our teaching and research to develop fully nuanced u nderstandings of contexts, experiences, and motivations of those margina lized from mainstream knowledge production.
