Citational Politics & EDI Resources
Citational politics examines how knowledge is referenced and whose voices are amplified in research. Citation practices are not neutral; they shape knowledge production, reinforce disciplinary norms, and can contribute to systemic inequities if not approached critically. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
Applying an equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) lens involves intentionally engaging with diverse sources, questioning dominant narratives, and ensuring representation of equity-deserving scholars in your work.

The Tri-Agency defines equity, diversity, and inclusion in research design as "considering the use of EDI approaches in the overall design of the research . . . , as applicable—e.g., research questions, methods, theoretical frameworks, literature reviews, analyses and interpretations, and knowledge mobilization activities— . . . because it can reveal complexities surrounding the lived experiences and histories of different groups and individuals who could be affected by the findings. EDI may be incorporated in different ways, such as through intersectional analysis, gender-based analysis plus (GBA+), anti-racist, anti-ableist, anti-homophobic, etc. approaches, and disaggregated data collection. The purpose of an EDI approach to research design is to promote rigorous research that considers identity factors, to ensure that the results are impactful and relevant to the diversity of the Canadian population.
Put simply, applying equity, diversity, and inclusion to the design of your research project means considering the existing biases and barriers within your entire research process from questions to dissemination and mitigating them.
