Aims

Bhuvana aims to:

• Advance global scholarship on critical ecology, intersectionality, and decolonial thought.

• Center Indigenous, local, and community-based knowledge systems in ecological research.

• Interrogate how gender, race, ethnicity, disability, class, sexuality, and other social categories shape ecological conditions and vulnerabilities.

• Challenge dominant epistemologies by foregrounding alternative cosmologies, relational ontologies, and embodied ways of knowing.

• Foster interdisciplinary conversations across the humanities, social sciences, environmental studies, and allied fields.

• Promote justice-oriented research that contributes to equitable ecological futures.

Scope

Bhuvana invites manuscripts that explore, but are not limited to, the following themes:

• Intersectional ecologies: gendered, racialized, ethnicized, disabled, and classed environments

• Indigenous ecological knowledge, cosmologies, and land relations

• Embodiment, body–earth relations, and ecological subjectivity

• Political ecology, climate justice, extractive conflicts, and environmental governance

• Colonialism, settler structures, and decolonial approaches to environment

• Ecofeminism, Indigenous feminisms, critical race ecology, crip ecology, and queer ecology

• Narratives, storytelling, myth, ritual, art, literature, and performance as ecological knowledge

• Multispecies relations, human–nonhuman entanglements, and posthumanist theory

• Environmental humanities, cultural ecology, and ecological ethics

• Ethnography, participatory methods, community-engaged research, and activist scholarship
