Resumo

Este artigo emprega uma autoetnografia colaborativa para examinar como as estruturas institucionais de ética em pesquisa moldam a experiência dos estudantes de pós-graduação racializados que conduzem pesquisas com refugiados e migrantes. Com base no feminismo interseccional, a análise questiona como as posições em que se encontram as pesquisadoras atravessam os processos institucionais para moldar o acesso, a participação e a produção de conhecimento. A partir de nossa análise, emergem dois temas centrais. Em primeiro lugar, a Ética Colonial do Cuidado destaca como a ética da pesquisa ocidental, orientada para a gestão da responsabilidade e a proteção institucional, muitas vezes silencia as vozes marginalizadas e reproduz a lógica colonial do cuidado. Defendemos uma reformulação da ética por meio da responsabilização nas relações e da participação comunitária, que colocam em primeiro plano a dignidade, a reciprocidade e a justiça. Em segundo lugar, a Ética do Acesso: Recursos e Apoio, demonstra que o acesso vai além da aprovação regulatória, abrangendo restrições financeiras, controle institucional de acesso e diferenças culturais que transferem o ônus da responsabilidade ética aos pesquisadores de forma individual. Juntos, esses temas ressaltam que a pesquisa ética com comunidades marginalizadas exige ir além da conformidade processual, caminhando em direção à adoção de práticas de solidariedade, cuidado e a disponibilização de mais recursos para os pesquisadores.
