Abstract
This presentation opens up questions at the heart of a forthcoming ethnographic research project on pregnancy, birth, and motherhood in Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland). It explores what it means to engage ethically with knowledge that is not one’s own — knowledge rooted in land, kinship, embodied experience, and relational care. Rather than treating research as a neutral or extractive act, the project approaches listening as a situated and accountable practice — one that resists translation into dominant biomedical or academic frameworks, and remains open to ambiguity, silence, and refusal. In dialogue with Indigenous, decolonial, and feminist scholarship, the presentation asks: How might care, gender, and knowledge be reimagined through relationships rather than representation? What does it mean to take relational knowledge seriously — not as data to interpret, but as a way of being that unsettles how research is done, and what it is for? These questions are not answered, but held open — as methodological commitments for me as a researcher seeking to move differently.
