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. This moment makes evident the interconnections between militarism and settler colonialism and genocide and ecocide, and therefore the need to situate our knowledge and approaches within anticolonial, indigenous and translocal perspectives. Recognising the importance of scholarship that addresses these issues, we are calling for papers for BISA2026 that are related to the topics of how imperialism / colonialism / extraction / capitalism are in relationship with environmental degradation. This can be on a material level, where the functions of occupation and extraction lead to environmental destruction, or on a more discursive level, where hierarchies of life are used to justify and naturalise ongoing violence against people and places. 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…

If like me you feel torn between submitting to an environment panel or a colonial, postcolonial, decolonial panel, this Call for Papers is for you.

Work being done at this intersection is vitally important, and I'm really grateful that CPD have joined with us for this.

I’m looking forward to this event. I’ll be riffing off the London-Edinburgh Weekend Return Group’s idea of being ‘in and against the state’ to reflect on what it means to pursue an academic career ‘in, against and beyond’ the university. Which is something I'm still trying to figure out myself...

It's October, and we have an event coming up!

Pathways for environment research: academia, activism, policy. A conversation for ECRs about post-PhD research between 3 people who have taken different paths.

17th October, online & free, 1pm-2.30pm BST.

www.bisa.ac.uk/members/work...
Aimed at PhD and ECR researchers who are thinking about their future in environmental research, this roundtable brings together three researchers who have taken different pathways with their PhDs. Professor Rosaleen Duffy, Chair of International Politics at the University of Sheffield, will speak to her academic career as a researcher and teacher of global environmental change and governance. Dr Jane Clarke, Principal Analyst at the Office for Environmental Protection, will discuss her experience working on environmental policy across both non-government and government sectors. And Dr Kai Heron, Lecturer in Political Ecology at Lancaster University and co-director of the progressive policy platform Abundance, will share his experience as an activist researcher and using academia to further social movement goals. The discussion will shed light on different ways to use your environment PhD, what different career pathways can offer, and opportunities for intersections between them. We hope you can join us!
