Our 'Decolonising Development Geographies' Workshop was off to a great start this morning, with a fantastic keynote by Nikita Sud 🙌 Nikita spoke about the frontierisation of the energy transition in Rempang, Indonesia, highlighting how frontiers are processes, not facts 💡

Our second session started with some fun games to stimulate discussion on theatre in participatory action research led by the fantastic Prof Angelo Miramonti 🙌 Angelo is using theatre as a decolonial method and way for communities to assess policies and seed collective action💡

Loved speaking to Josefa Sanchez Contreras & Miriam Lang about the coloniality of energy transitions and the capitalist capture of environmental policy-making. The book's final part explores alternatives to green colonialism - highly recommend it! plutobooks.com/9780745349343/…
