Abstract: Despite the wide interest toward the impact of antiracism or anticolonial trainings on White and settler peoples, there isa lack of consideration of the experience of racialized or Indigenous trainers. Yet, the few existing studies suggest majornegative impacts: stress, emotional labor, burnout. This study explores the experience of 12 Indigenous facilitators raisingawareness about colonialism […]

Excerpt: In 2015, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC) documented the realities and the longstanding impacts of Indian Residential Schools and released its 94 Calls to Action. Among them was Call to Action 30 that called “upon the federal, provincial, and territorial governments to commit to eliminating the overrepresentation of Indigenous peoples in […]

Abstract: This project engages long-standing paradoxes surrounding the German imaginary of Indigenous Peoples of Turtle Island by moving the study of ‘Indianthusiasm’ beyond predominant Eurocentric frames. Indianthusiasm gained its prominence as a broader GermanEuropean infatuation with North American indianness, largely centering on “playing indian” within Europe’s many hobbyist scenes. Too little attention has been paid […]

Abstract: This article makes the case for studying fin de siècle geopolitical thought from the margins—at the Nordic periphery. While recent scholarship in the history of international thought has revisited canonical figures or turned to non-Western contexts, the Nordic margins of Europe have remained largely unexplored. This article addresses that lacuna by examining the geopolitical […]

Abstract: While traditional views of British Columbian history, articulated by historians such as Robin Fisher, have seen white settlement as a force fundamentally at odds with Indigenous prosperity, a closer examination of rural settler communities in nineteenth-century Coast Salish British Columbia reveals a highly hybridized social and economic landscape. Drawing on a range of sources, […]

Abstract: It has been well documented that the impacts and force of European colonialism were built upon the subjugation of Indigenous people and their lands, the consequences of which are both long-enduring and devastating. Yet the same logics and discourse continue to be employed around the potential benefits of space expansionism – both economic and […]

Abstract: This article seeks to unpick and expose the internal logics of the biblical arguments that were deployed to explain and justify settler colonization in Australia. Pushing beyond “subduing the earth” as the extent of the religious rationale for colonization to an understanding that incorporates the broader biblical narratives drawn on by settler colonists, it […]

Abstract: This paper offers a conceptual analysis of Australia’s comparatively low diaspora ratio, theorising emigration ambivalence as a product of national identity, settler colonial permanence, economic affluence, and mobility regimes. Rather than attributing immobility to geography or prosperity alone, it reframes staying as a culturally and politically constructed ideal. Drawing on nationalism studies, migration theory, […]

Abstract: This article offers a historically grounded contribution to the debate on the relationship between Zionism and settler colonialism. Rather than determining whether Zionism should be defined as a settler-colonial project, the study employs settler colonialism as an analytical lens to examine how Zionist actors – specifically the Irgun (Hebrew: Etzel, National Military Organisation) – […]

Abstract: In 1978 Gertrude Steuernagel argued for the necessity of deepening the culturally ‘therapeutic’ function of political philosophy by means of a ‘synthesis’ of works by C.G. Jung and Herbert Marcuse. We believe her proposal continues to offer—with one important qualification—a valid path towards a politically ‘therapeutic intervention’ in dysfunctional power relationships. Such an intervention […]
