Aims

Decol 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.
