This collection contains ELRC research that directly addresses the need to address a history of dominant hegemonies in research traditions that exclude or have excluded indigenous and global south knowledges, cultures, voices, histories, practices and ways of knowing. Decolonisation in research involves an inclusive, ethically grounded and care-full reflexive praxis, and involves post-abyssal expansion in which a wider range of knowledges and experiences are included and advanced via research practices and processes. Such research in our collection, also involves regenerative research that reclaims, and advances rising cultures of African communities. Such research is also necessarily intersectional, transgressive, and embracing of African feminist orientations, cognitive and hermeneutic justice, as well as sociocultural and social-ecological justice dynamics.
