🧠 📖 The new @thirdworldq Special Issue, Decolonising Epistemology: Intellectual Imperialism and the Coloniality of Knowledge, explores how colonial histories continue to shape global knowledge production through intellectual imperialism and academic dependency.

The contributors call for urgent reform:
🔸 Centering subaltern knowledge not as data, but as thinking
🔸 Dismantling Eurocentric academic structures
🔸 Creating global flows of knowledge that are equitable and just

🔔 Excited to share @thirdworldq's new Special Issue (SI), "Confronting Epistemic Erasures: Decolonising Knowledge, Fostering Resistance and Building Alternatives", bringing together voices from across geographies and disciplines - refugees, Indigenous groups, queer artists, racialised filmmakers, and grassroots movements - all sharing stories of knowledge systems under threat, and the creative strategies of resistance they employ.

From autoethnography to body mapping, the issue features voices from the margins reshaping how we think about knowledge, power, and justice.

Activism in the #GlobalSouth is not just reactive, it’s emotionally charged, spatially hybrid, and intellectually generative. This @thirdworldq Special Issue features case studies from India, South Africa, Palestine, Iran, Kenya, Chile & Pakistan, positioning the Global South as a site of emerging resistance theories that challenge Western frameworks and redefine justice, space, and politics.
