About This Journal

This journal provides a dedicated home for scholarship on regionally rooted and indigenous knowledge traditions across the world's diverse cultural zones — including African, Asian, Latin American, Pacific, and other indigenous and non-Western epistemologies. It addresses a growing decolonial and area-studies research movement not represented elsewhere in the title list, and avoids the narrower regional framing of a single-continent focus.
