Bhuvana: Journal of Critical Ecology, Intersectionality, and Decolonial Thought is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the study of critical ecology, gender, race, ethnicity, disability, coloniality, and environmental justice across the Global South. Grounded in the Nusantara cosmological concept of bhuvana—the world, the earth, and the relational universe—the journal foregrounds Indigenous, local, and marginalized epistemologies that challenge dominant Western paradigms of nature, identity, and power.

Bhuvana publishes scholarship that investigates how ecological relations are shaped by intersecting forces such as colonial histories, racialization, gender systems, ableism, extractivism, and global capitalism. The journal welcomes a wide range of contributions, including empirical research, theoretical interventions, ethnographies, conceptual essays, creative analytical writing, and experimental work in the ecological humanities.

To support broader accessibility and knowledge circulation, Bhuvana accepts manuscripts written in both Bahasa Indonesia and English. The journal seeks to cultivate transformative dialogue across disciplines, languages, and communities, advancing critical, intersectional, and decolonial approaches toward more just ecological futures.
