Calls for anticolonial practices and scholarship are growing from around the world. Scholarship emerging from Africa, South Asia and South America several decades ago laid important foundations for rethinking the conceptual and methodological basis for anticolonial thinking. Similarly, Latin American activist groups and scholars are now at the forefront of articulating what taking an anticolonial approach to scholarship and socionatural change might look like. In other parts of the world, calls for decolonisation are strong, but with somewhat different emphases and vocabularies. In this course, we read across conversations from different parts of the world on epistemological hegemonies, more-than-geographies and the emergent climate crisis. We emphasise situating conversations in their historical and geopolitical context and asking how these conversations demand that knowledges produced in Global North universities need to take seriously these critiques. These conversations lay a foundation for new imaginaries for an emancipated world.
