“The sins of our forefathers”: reimagining research in health professions education

This article proposes that HPE researchers engage in disruptive research practices by delinking with their disciplinary training, and reimagine their role in th e research process. To accomplish this, I suggest that they engage in three strategies: attend to the research team’s composition, embrace critical theory and investigate epistemological ignorance. These strategies are nowhere close to exhaustive, and they do not extend as far as the conversation must go in reimagining our role in the research enterprise. However, in providing some initial thoughts on this topic, I hope to invite the HPE community into discussion on how we might harness our collective responsibility to resist research practices that are harmful and unjust to minoritized comm unities.
