International School of Radical Relationism (ISRR)

Environmental Research Philosophy or Environmental Ethos?

The ISRR is comprised of an international group of interdisciplinary scholars who are focused on promoting social justice and decolonizing knowledge production through radical relationism.

Radical relationism is a non-mainstream perspective on knowledge production that promotes social justice and has decolonizing potential. It intersects both the human and more-than-human environment because it considers that human actors and their attributes constitute each other through their exchanges with each other and their environment (social/political and natural). Radical relationism highlights how human actors, being embodied organisms, are embedded in and dependent on their natural environment. Therefore, radical relationism can be used as a framework to develop ethics to engage in a better relationship with the world and natural environment.
