• Who We Are:
      • We identify as a group of scholar-activists who have been individually and collectively inspired by those who have used relational worldviews to address the series of political and ecological crises we face in this time. Since 2012, we have been organizing seminars, symposiums, and workshops on relationality and pluriversal activism. The purpose of this website is to archive the ideas and material we have gathered since the genesis of the project, and to share, connect, and document the mapping of knowledges and concepts that we have used to inform our work on relationality.

    • Why Relationality?
        • In an era ridden with political and ecological devestations and crises, cries for healing and justice pervade our minds and hearts inside and outside of the academe. As a collective of scholar-activists, we have found that the concept of radical interdependence — a worldview present in many indigenous, peasant and marginalized cultures —  is foundational to the activation and design of a more just pluriversal imagination. We consider relationality as an understanding of the inherent interconnectedness of all beings, and we see relationality as a crucial principle that informs our quest to equip activists and communities with the tools to design worlds that are deeply relational, healing, and just.
