Loved speaking to Josefa Sanchez Contreras & Miriam Lang about the coloniality of energy transitions and the capitalist capture of environmental policy-making.
The book's final part explores alternatives to green colonialism - highly recommend it!

Thank you for joining us online and in the room for the book launch - it's been a fantastic way to think through some of book's themes
Josefa brilliantly highlighted the importance of emphasising racism when analysing green colonialism and environmental policies @cabotinstitute

This was such a fruitful experience. Thank You @DevGeogsRG for organizing this workshop on Decolonizing development geography.
I found answers to my questions about gendering of space. I got a chance to dance too.

Our second session started with some fun games to stimulate discussion on theatre in participatory action research led by the fantastic Prof Angelo Miramonti 🙌
Angelo is using theatre as a decolonial method and way for communities to assess policies and seed collective action💡
