🌟New article out🌟
I provide a transformative approach to peace studies, centered on the agency of the Global South. I argue that challenging Eurocentric narratives of violence and peace can move us toward true liberation!

I have spent the past 3 days in the European Parliament for the
#BeyondGrowth2023
conference. Here are some of my main takeaways (as a Global South, feminist, decolonial, ecosocialist, social scientist).

Practicing citational justice is extremely important in times where even feminist and decolonial scholars are doing so much to uphold empire.
I want to also recommend citing Lelia Gonzalez for ~intersectionality~, and Sueli Carneiro and Moira Millan for epistemicide.
Cite Combahee River Collective for anti-imperial, anti-racist intersectionality analysis. Cite other scholars like Audre Lorde, Patricia Hill Collins, Chandra Mohanty & other anti-capitalist, anti-imperial feminists. Not those who uphold imperial feminism or liberal feminism

Yes, I see this all the time now. Decolonisation is a smart career move for Global North scholars. For Global South scholar-activists committed to the theory AND praxis of decolonisation, there are strong impediments and challenges that undermine of our "scientific" capacity.
Decolonisation is a career move. Several decolonial and postcolonial scholars provide evidence of it every single instance.

✊🏽 Finally, we cannot talk about degrowth without talking about the need to decolonize the current power and economic structures, as well as to democratize institutions of decision-making. There is no degrowth without decolonization, there is no just transition without the people

While the interventions by our fellow scientists were great, we need more representation of social scientists to help us think through questions of decolonization, power balances, class struggle, public mobilization, and social consequences and impacts

We also need to unite env. and workers! Our big task is to create the "movement of movements" where everyone is welcome and understand that we all have a role to play. Building bridges with workers and Indigenous/traditional communities is key for a powerful and just transition

I understand that it was a very powerfully simbolic experience to be talking about degrowth and postgrowth within the walls of Eurocentric power guided by the mantra of growth. But contrary to my fellow European colleagues, that building represents a lot harm and violence to me.

Brazil is burning again. Even more than last year. It is known now that there are five big agribusiness owners connected to the criminal fires destroying indigenous and protected land. Land grabbing is targeted and violent, as it has always been in this country.

The
#BeyondGrowth2023
shows that people are frustrated by the lack of response of politicians - especially ones that deviate so much from the evidence and recs of the scientists. Several of them were booed, while scientists got standing ovations for their courage to speak out.

the new conservative government in Sweden has decided to stop funding all research in the field of "development" and cancelled an ongoing review process. this is a reflection of larger trends of dismantling aid funds. it is becoming harder to be a serious researcher in Sweden.

Europe wants to be the leader of the Green Transition with minerals coming from the Global South. Green extractivism for green futures is just the new color of colonialism and capitalism.
"Green capitalism just means that wars for oil become wars for lithium"

More horrible news coming from Lund. The police has fabricated the charge that the woman they arrested was sitting in front of the police car and preventing it from moving. They arrested her for police sabotage and even tried to charge her for drug crimes.
Här är ett längre filmklipp som helt motbevisar polisens version om att kvinnan som greps för Blåljussabotage skulle ha suttit sig framför och blockerat en polisbuss. Anklagelserna fabricerade. Hon stod framför polisbussen i cirka en sekund. Jämför med mitt klipp till höger.
