Elements in Indigenous Environmental Research offers state-of-the-art interdisciplinary analyses within the rapidly growing area of Indigenous environmental research. The series investigates how environmental issues and processes relate to Indigenous socio-economic, cultural and political dynamics.
Elements in the series will provide concise, timely publications for researchers, policy-makers, regulatory authorities, NGOs and activists. A key aim of the series is to be both global in scope and highly interdisciplinary, covering a range of issues, including water politics, Indigenous geographies of health & disease, bioprospecting and resource extraction, methodologies and approaches, ecologies of sovereignty, climate justice and activism, geopolitics and Indigenous territories, mobilities, migration and societal change.
Interested in publishing an Element? Please consult this guide and send your proposal to Matthias Wong.
