ABSTRACT
In this chapter we draw on our collective research experiences over 15 years, to discuss how – by valuing connections and relationships with participants by language, community, culture and religion – we have prioritised the role of Papua New Guinean researchers in leading meaningful peer-involved research of local and international importance. We reflect on the ever-changing nature of peer relationships that are part of our long-term commitment to decolonising research practices, processes and institutions in Papua New Guinea and beyond.
