CALL:
The University of Melbourne is located on the traditional lands of the Wurundjeri, and takes an important focus on this place, as well as on the Indo-Pacific region, and the Global South. Waves of global exploration, colonization, migration have been transforming local cultures in these regions since the 15th century. More recently, awareness of the effects of climate change on these peoples and cultures has become central to our understanding of these lands.
National settler policies continue to deterritorialise Indigenous peoples excluding or subordinating their lifeworlds. Decolonising discourse, pedagogy and creative practices in the built environments is now an acute contemporary concern.
Alongside colleagues in all parts of the world, we must address crucial questions that arise from the places where we are:
- How might damaged environments be restored, and how might the connections of people and place be supported in this?
- How can postcolonial-, immigrant- and refugee-settlers build respectful relationships with Indigenous stakeholders that cross race, culture and class?
- What does it mean to research, teach, and work on the unceded sovereign lands of First Nations peoples?
- How are the built environment and spatial disciplines complicit in processes of dispossession?
We invite submissions that grapple with these conundrums across or between theory, pedagogy and practice.
Engagement with theory might focus on critical race theories, border thinking, postcolonial discourse, Indigenous place-making, situated practices, intersectionality, placelessness, and care relations.
A focus on pedagogy could explore or explain practical steps to decolonise/indigenise curriculum in design (architecture, landscape architecture, urban design and interior design) and the incorporation of sustainability in all aspects of cross disciplinary curricula.
Contributions relating to practices may share or present traditional and non-traditional research outputs, including works that explore place meaning or territorial contestation through design for the built or living environment and / or projects seeking to mitigate the effects of climate change at local or global scales.
