Abstract: This article is located in decolonial perspectives, framing grief and mourning as a liberatory praxis against carceral coloniality and settler colonial violence. As decolonial, Indigenous, and Black feminist thinkers propose, there is hope for justice so long as we do not forget injustice. This proposal takes us to the conundrum: How not to forget […]

Abstract: This qualitative study relies on a theory-driven analysis of legal and institutional sources to evaluate the application of post-colonial theory to the Kashmir issue by India, comparing the disputed territory of Jammu and Kashmir with India’s North-Eastern states at the intra-state level and India’s brinkmanship with South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) nations […]

Description: How Indigenous Americans and colonial settlers negotiated the meaning of independence in the Revolutionary era. On July 4, 1776, two hundred miles northwest of Philadelphia, on Indigenous land along the West Branch of the Susquehanna River, a group of colonial squatters declared their independence.

Abstract: Human space-faring societies have been the subject of science fiction and the imagination of countless people desiring a different way of life. Various concepts of what life would be like in space, whether on a spacecraft, space station, or other planets or moons, vary with the imagination of those seeking various idealistic or altruistic […]

Abstract: This article presents a meta-narrative examining the Canadian settler public’s indifference toward Indian Residential Schools and associated genocide denial. To produce this meta-narrative, its research methodology of re-framing draws on critical anti-colonial and decolonial scholarship. The findings demonstrate a clear connection between the logic of settler colonialism and Canadians’ indifference to the nation’s history […]

Abstract: In settler-colonial states that seek to recognize Indigenous rights, such as Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ), the transition to agricultural sustainability must draw upon the insights of both Indigenous knowledge, in this case mātauranga Māori, and Western knowledge systems. This was the premise behind the ‘Sustainability Transition Challenge Wānanga’ that took place in 2023 under the leadership of […]

Description: Before wartime removal and incarceration, most West Coast Japanese Americans, including immigrant Issei and US-born Nisei generations, resided in rural agricultural areas. Existing histories of Japanese America have often overlooked this farming aspect of their experience, focusing instead on urban narratives. Centered on the town of Walnut Grove, the “downriver” (kawashimo) settlement was home […]

Abstract: ‘Finding potentialities’ has become a central obsession in colonial and state-driven efforts to identify latent value in land and life forms. It functions as a primary mechanism through which multispecies colonialism operates in Papua’s wetlands. Drawing on Dutch colonial reports and the early work of Indonesian agrarian reform scholar Gunawan Wiradi, this analysis traces […]

Abstract: We analyse statements by US President Trump issued since returning to the White House in early 2025 and focus on pronouncements concerning three particular sites: South Africa, Gaza and Greenland. A coordinated array of specifically settler colonial imaginings emerges: South Africa is a site of past settler struggle–a spectre, it must be punished and […]

Critical scholarship suggests that higher education can regulate epistemic boundaries, discipline knowledge production, and shape the subjectivities of colonized students. In this context, the paper explores how colonized students enact individual and collective forms of […]
