Loved speaking to Josefa Sanchez Contreras & Miriam Lang about the coloniality of energy transitions and the capitalist capture of environmental policy-making.

The book's final part explores alternatives to green colonialism - highly recommend it!

This was such a fruitful experience. Thank You @DevGeogsRG for organizing this workshop on Decolonizing development geography.

I found answers to my questions about gendering of space. I got a chance to dance too.

Our second session started with some fun games to stimulate discussion on theatre in participatory action research led by the fantastic Prof Angelo Miramonti 🙌

Angelo is using theatre as a decolonial method and way for communities to assess policies and seed collective action💡

We're now hearing a fantastic variety of Latin American Approaches to Decolonising Development Geographies from Brazil, Ecuador, Chile and Argentina.

It's a great line-up of speakers brought together by our @lag_uk colleagues @BarataAline @CeperoPietra

We're now very excited to hear from @ilankapoor about the use and misuse of the decolonisation agenda based on his paper below.

We're then giving over to our participants to discuss these issues in small groups.
