 d)\nBeyond its direct impacts on education\, the COVID-19 crisis has broug
 ht to the fore challenges and opportunities for reimagining education rese
 arch and knowledge for sustainable futures.  \n\nEvidence\, knowledge and
  research are distinct concepts and yet interrelated. The emphasis on ‘e
 vidence-based’ policies in education and international development is so
 metimes critiqued for relying on knowledge produced through unequal power 
 relations and inequitable research partnerships. \n\nExisting literature 
 and the COVID-19 pandemic highlight the need for locally generated\, teste
 d and adapted evidence\, stressing the importance of understanding the dyn
 amics of specific contexts. The pandemic has exposed new and existing stru
 ctural vulnerabilities of education\, differential impacts on learning and
  the need to building more inclusive and resilient arrangements for educat
 ion and learning at all levels.\nAttendees will be invited to share commen
 ts and questions throughout the discussion. 30 minutes will be dedicated t
 o Questions &amp\; Answers. \nSimultaneous interpretation from English to
  French will be available.\n---\n\nKeith Holmes will moderate the webinar\
 , setting the scene by exploring the nature of evidence\, knowledge and da
 ta\, and the power imbalances in education research partnerships and netwo
 rks\, by questioning whose agendas are prioritized\, and who has ownership
  of research and evaluation processes. \n\nPrachi Srivastava will conside
 r key assumptions and institutions that underlie education systems in the 
 context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Her paper explores the legitimization of
  knowledge\, with reference to inclusion/exclusion\, and identifies concep
 tual shifts needed for meaningful actions in the current crisis. \n\nVain
 ola Makan\, Rafael Mitchell and Wendy Pekeur will discuss enabling structu
 res and spaces for equitable knowledge co-creation and capacity mobilizati
 on within international research partnerships. \n\nAs discussant\, Joel S
 amoff will then provide critical reflections on the papers presented. Toge
 ther\, the panel will reflect on steps towards socially responsible approa
 ches to knowledge generation\, such as equitable capacity exchange\, mutua
 l learning\, self-critique\, and equitable partnerships and networks. Fina
 lly\, the panel suggests ways forward in evidence\, knowledge and research
  for sustainable futures.\n---\n\n	Moderator’s remarks: \nKeith Holmes\
