Why did you join the editorial team?

"As a scholar located in the global south, my involvement in the journal is to actively foster the conscious acknowledgment of a wide range of intellectual traditions and perspectives emanating from less privileged locales of knowledge production. What makes Global Social Challenges Journal attractive to me is its attention to decolonization of knowledge forms with its distinct normative accents on what is likely to matter increasingly in the twenty first century – imperial formations, capitalism and ecological dystopias, the political economy of global redistribution, the crisis of multilateralism and deeply intertwined questions of war and peace."
