The aim of this Research Section (RS) is to reconfigure African Environmental Studies through inter- and transdisciplinary approaches to environmental knowledge (co-)production. It will explore the ways in which the multiple dynamics of human–environment relations and their grounding in African epistemologies, ontologies, political ecologies and experiences can be brought to bear in the reconfiguration of African Environmental Studies, and to the reflexive, multiple world-making practices that emerge as a consequence. The RS Ecologies will focus on the multiple dynamics of African human–environment relations found in (1) socio-ecological system changes and innovations, (2) political ecologies and narratives, (3) mobilities and inequalities, in and of places, (4) environmental philosophies, heritages and knowledges. These lines of inquiry will catalyse studies that are variously affirmative, generative, critical or actively disruptive of climate change impacts, while seeking to secure environmental and social justice.
