Abstract: Our goal is to simulate the interactions of future Martian colonists through an Agent-Based Modeling (ABM) approach, to anticipate conflict. Given the engineering and technological limitations, we draw on research regarding high performing teams in isolated high stress environments (ex. submarines, Arctic exploration, war) to focus on mental health of four standard psychological profiles. […]

Abstract: This article analyzes the construction of the imaginary created by the Brazilian Indigenous Movement against the historical representations imposed by the non-indigenous, of disappearance, and backwardness. It is based on the study of the speeches of the assemblies of Indigenous chiefs between 1974 and 1977. The crisis of institutional Indigenism, military authoritarianism, and developmentalism […]

Abstract: Indigenous people in settler colonies such as Australia, the United States, and Canada are currently engaged in a range of projects to revitalize their languages: to reclaim and restore them in the wake of colonial destruction. Such language revitalization is frequently met with fierce backlash. This article examines the relationship between language revitalization backlash […]

Excerpt: Teaching about Palestine in Australian schools and universities recently has been met with government and institutional resistance and sometimes censorship and disciplinary action. We see this as an indication of intersecting settler colonialisms: teaching Palestine unsettles the Australian settler colonial state. This situation is, therefore, an opportunity for educators to better engage with the […]

Abstract: This paper examines the persistent eects of Crown versus settler colonialism. Exploiting a spatial regression discontinuity design in Mexico, I document that regions where the relative power of the colonial state over settler elites was higher exhibit higher historical and contemporary economic prosperity. In contrast to the view that Crown judges disproportionately weakened property […]

Abstract: This chapter traces how two policing logics – centralized state-building militarism and settler colonial violence – intersected with and shaped one another on the nineteenth-century American western frontier and borderlands. Because settlement meant both direct federal administrative control over new lands and the opportunity for settlers to wield some flexibility in creating their own […]

Abstract: This chapter highlights the epistemic violence in Australian clinical legal education. Perhaps because clinical legal education is viewed as indelibly progressive, it has long escaped the attention of sustained decolonial analysis. This chapter addresses this void by providing four critiques of clinical legal education: its failure to acknowledge the lingering effects of settler colonialism, […]

Abstract: In the United Sates, happiness has mostly been studied from a Western perspective with the Indigenous American perspective mostly ignored. On the other hand, a deficit perspective is often taken with this population meaning that the literature on Indigenous Americans often focuses on ill-health and problems. This chapter explores the limited extant research—primarily from […]

Description: In Paraguay’s Chaco region, cattle ranching drives some of the world’s fastest deforestation and most extreme inequality in land tenure, with grave impacts on Indigenous well‑being. Disrupting the Patrón traces Enxet and Sanapaná struggles to reclaim their ancestral lands from the cattle ranches where they labored as peons—a decades-long resistance that led to the Inter‑American Court […]

Abstract: This paper examines agrarian colonization as a distinctive state development policy in twentieth-century Latin America. After discussing its intellectual roots in the nineteenth century, the study explores post-World War II agrarian colonization policies in Bolivia, Colombia, and Brazil. Proposing conviviality-inequality as an analytical lens, the paper contends that the concept of colonization, rooted in […]
