Research Project
Full description This project maps how Indigenous-authored environmental scholarship mobilizes Critical Indigenous Theory to shape research, practice, and policy in environmental sciences. Through a close review of 68 works by Indigenous scholars across regions including North America, Pasifika, the Arctic, and Australia, the project identifies six recurring theoretical constellations-Refusal and Resurgence, Indigenous Law and Governance, Relational Accountability and Kincentric Ethics, Indigenous Methodologies, Decolonial Futures, and Indigenous Environmental Justice. These were used to code each work, illuminating the epistemic ground on which Indigenous environmental thought is built and offering a challenge to dominant disciplinary structures.
