| Summary: | This case study is based on an advocacy research project exploring the politics of decolonization within the West Papuan independence movement. To carry out the research, I undertook semistructured interviews with more than 70 West Papuan activists living in West Papua and in diaspora and participated in a sustained activist/advocacy program for a decolonized West Papua. This case study outlines the ways in which I have engaged with West Papuans' accounts of their decolonization struggle and worked to use my positionality as an Australian researcher to amplify West Papuan voices as they assert their right to self-determination. It highlights challenges I encountered along the way and foregrounds the extraordinary generosity and courage of the West Papuan people who have shared their stories with me. |
