Vicki Chartrand, Genner Llanes-Ortiz and Alex Miltsov, Editors
We are pleased to invite proposal abstracts for an upcoming book project on rethinking, remapping, and re-envisioning possibilities for justice. This project seeks to move beyond state-centred or institutionalized conceptions of justice and to ground an understanding of justice in the lived realities, practices, and experiences of communities and within diverse spaces, emphasizing the transformative potential of collective movements and grassroots work.
This edited collection brings together diverse perspectives, narratives, and practices that challenge conventional understandings and notions of justice, confront historical and contemporary injustices, and imagine transformative pathways for theorizing, practicing, and embodying justice in its multiplicities. By engaging with themes such as decolonization, intersectionality, spatiality, environmental concerns, migration, technology, creative expressions, and future possibilities, we aim to explore how justice is negotiated, contested, and revitalized across various contexts and to capture the rich and complex ways justice is both experienced and enacted.
We encourage submissions that challenge conventional wisdom, center decentred perspectives, and offer different and unique insights into the complexities of justice in our contemporary world. Justice Interventions seeks to be a platform for critical dialogue, creative expression, and transformative visions of justice that resonate with diverse audiences and inspire collective action.
Possible Themes:
Decolonial justice: Examining how colonialism shapes contemporary understandings and practices of justice and exploring decolonial approaches to justice that center Indigenous knowledge, resurgence, and self-determination.
Intersections of justice: Investigating the intersections of race, gender, class, sexuality, and other social locations in relation to justice and exploring how multiple forms of oppression and privilege intersect in struggles for justice.
(Re)Mapping justices: Analyzing how spatial structures, practices, and social, cultural, political, and economic dynamics intersect with spatial conceptions of justice.
Environmental justices: Investigating the distribution of environmental risks and benefits across different spatial scales and their implications for justice.
Indigenous geographies: Examining how Indigenous knowledge, land rights, and place-based justice challenge dominant spatial narratives.
Borders, migration, and justice: Investigating the intersections of migration, borders, and including the experiences of displaced populations and the politics of mobility.
Technology, surveillance, and justice: Analyzing the impact of technological advancements and surveillance on shaping or spatializing justice and privacy.
Justice interventions: Highlighting activist and advocacy intellectual perspectives, grassroots movements, and community-based initiatives that challenge dominant narratives of justice.
Creative justices: Exploring how art, literature, performance, and other creative forms are used to unearth hidden injustices, amplify voices, and inspire collective action as acts of justice.
Justice futurities: Imagining and articulating justice possibilities and futurities beyond traditional and state-based conceptions of justice.
Submission Guidelines
Proposals should include a title, abstract (250-300 words), and author(s) bio(s). Submissions should be sent to Vicki Chartrand vicki.chartrand@ubishops.ca<mailto:vicki.chartrand@ubishops.ca>.
