Sumario:In this note, we discuss a digital, participatory, action research design we are developing to collaborate with the staff of humanitarian aid spaces for international migrants in Mexico. Our research seeks to observe how the ethos, defined as the way staff at these spaces for migrants perceive their own activity or work with the people they receive could affect the type of activities these spaces undertake and the way they describe and treat international people on the move. We propose strategies we intend to use to cogenerate relevant information for us and those collaborating in the project, including reflexive interviews, conversations on preliminary results with all the participants, and frank discussions on research credit and products that may be helpful. We conclude with reflections on this type of research design.
