Call for Papers for #BISA2026!

Exploring the relationship between imperialism, coloniality and environmental degradation.

This is a joint call with Colonial, Postcolonial & Decolonial WG, recognising that important work is being done at the intersection of our groups.

Deadline Friday 24 October.
Exploring the relationship between imperialism, coloniality and environmental degradation Joint Call for Papers from the Colonial, Postcolonial, and Decolonial Working Group and Environment and Climate Politics Working Group We are putting out this joint call in recognition that many researchers are working at the intersection of our two working groups - and during a time when the realities of this intersection between colonialism, empire, and the environment have never been more clear.

Whilst we are keeping this Call quite broad to encourage wide-ranging submissions, some paper topics or research areas might include: • Genocide and its links to environmental destruction, for example in Palestine, DR Congo, and Sudan, to name a few. • Ecological imperialism – theoretical contributions or case studies • Reparative justice and climate change • The construction of new ‘frontiers’ – how imperialism and extraction is moving to new areas such as the deep sea or space • Anticolonial and anti-extractive organising and decarbonization and fossil fuel phase outs • Indigenous approaches on relationality, connectedness and climate justice • The role of academics in perpetuating or resisting these forms of harm Please send your 200-250 word abstrac…
