Although there is a ceaseless proliferation of research on global politics within critical international relations theory, a considerable gap remains within the areas of indigenism, anarchism and feminism, the intersectional analysis therein, and the praxis of these theories. By bringing together scholars from diverse intellectual traditions, this workshop will explore an emerging field that builds a more critical analytical framework in international relations. The significance of this workshop lies in breaking down the hierarchical structures and concepts, “unsettling” state authority within the inter-state system, and being attentive to multiple/plural ways of being in the world. As an intersection between the academy inquiry and activism (theory and practice), the examination of the legacies of colonial power relations toward the visioning of post-imperial futures and the potentiality for improving global relations are empowering of indigenous nations and cultural and political communities. This venture research workshop will focus on interdisciplinary examination of transversal feminist, indigenous, and anarchist struggles (relations that transverse the boundaries of, within and between nations and states) and the ways in which they are prefiguring alternative and innovative political practices in their/our global locale(s).
