Call for Papers: Beyond Decolonisation: Bridging Disciplines, Rethinking Futures, Abstract Submission Deadline- 15 March 2025

Editors:

Jonathan Jansen (University of Stellenbosch), Shireen Motala (University of Johannesburg), Marcina Singh (University of Johannesburg)

The book project will use the following questions to guide submissions, but not exclusively:

• Do we have a theory of what decolonised knowledge looks like, what preceded decolonisation and have these important contributions been considered, especially those that emerged from other disciplines, including the humanities?

• Is a cross-disciplinary perspective sufficiently evident, and what new evidence is present from the current research on decolonisation?

• As the global South, how do we move to equitable knowledge sharing, including understanding a range of disciplinary perspectives, from Law, Economics, Sociology, Anthropology, Science, Engineering and others? Have we understood the richness of the development of specific disciplinary perspectives in the range of contexts and countries in the Global South?

• How have these disciplinary perspectives informed the debates on decolonisation and beyond, which is increasingly focusing on a new discourse of knowledge and theory building and curriculum and institutional change?

Submissions are invited from scholars across all disciplines and contexts. Papers will be compiled into a scholarly book using the requisite peer review processes.
