Suspending Damage: A Letter to Communities. Tuck, E. Harvard Educational Review, 79(3):409–428, September, 2009. ![Suspending Damage: A Letter to Communities [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Paper doi abstract bibtex In this open letter, Eve Tuck calls on communities, researchers, and educators to reconsider the long-term impact of "damage-centered" research—research that intends to document peoples' pain and brokenness to hold those in power accountable for their oppression. This kind of research operates with a flawed theory of change: it is often used to leverage reparations or resources for marginalized communities yet simultaneously reinforces and reinscribes a one-dimensional notion of these people as depleted,ruined, and hopeless. Tuck urges communities to institute a moratorium on damage-centered research to reformulate the ways research is framed and conducted and to reimagine how findings might be used by, for, and with communities.
