What happens when research is no longer gatekept, but grounded? When it moves from just being published to being understood and felt?
In this powerful episode of ResearchBunny Talks, we sit down with Juliet Inyang, a researcher, leader. Juliet shares her deeply personal and professional journey, from her undergraduate roots in Nigeria, to building inclusive research ecosystems from New Zealand.
This episode isn’t just about research. It’s about storytelling, ownership, and the courage to lead differently.
✨ In this episode, you’ll discover:
▶ Why African research is often underestimated and why that needs to change ▶ How Juliet is resisting Eurocentric frameworks and centering indigenous philosophies ▶ What it means to make research accessible and emotionally resonant ▶ How platforms like Academic Hive are helping young researchers find their voice ▶ A powerful message to every African scholar: “Your story is valid. Your work is needed. Start where you are.”
Juliet's voice is calm, clear, and unapologetically bold. She reminds us that visibility is not enough...we need ownership, representation, and collaborative funding models that uplift local agendas.
🌍 For those navigating identity, voice, and visibility in research, this is the episode you’ve been waiting for.
