Deadline: January 20, 2025

SustainE in collaboration with participants of the Alexander von Humboldt foundation’s 2024 Humboldt Residency Programme are inviting submissions for a special issue on Bridging Power and Knowledge: Addressing Global Imbalances in Knowledge Systems for Sustainable Futures. The project is the result of a collaboration between participants of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation’s 2024 Humboldt Residency Programme and SustainE.

They encourage submissions from scholars, civil society organizations, and local collectives, that prioritize community-based participatory research and other collaborative models of knowledge production. Submissions that address sustainability in the context of environmental stewardship, economic resilience, and social equity are particularly welcome, with a special focus on contributions from LMICs in the Global South.

Theme and Scope

This special issue will explore:

  • Bridging Knowledge Worlds: The integration of traditional, local, and indigenous knowledge systems with academic/scientific research in sustainability.
  • Case Studies: Case studies demonstrating how traditional and indigenous knowledge can contribute to climate action and global sustainability, highlight the importance and relevance of local solutions for the global scale.
  • Equitable Partnerships: Cross-cultural and cross-sectoral collaborations that address power imbalances in global knowledge systems, fostering inclusive and equitable approaches to environmental, social, and economic sustainability.

Prize

  • The best submission will receive a prize of €1,000, awarded to the most impactful and innovative contribution.

Eligibility

  • Submissions are encouraged from researchers, civil society organizations, local collectives, and NGOs worldwide, particularly from LMICs in the Global South.
  • Each submission must include at least one co-author from the local community involved in the research or case study to ensure proper representation and acknowledgment of their contributions.
  • Submissions must directly address issues related to sustainability, climate action, environmental justice, or knowledge equity, with a clear focus on bridging Global North-South knowledge systems.
  • Submissions must represent original, completed work, or research projects. Proposals for future projects will not be considered.
  • A brief descriptive text (500-1000 words) must accompany non-text submissions (video, photo essays, visualizations) explaining the context, research, and the role of local knowledge systems.

Review Criteria

  • Alignment with the theme of the special issue.
  • Contribution to bridging Global North-South knowledge systems.
  • Originality, rigor, and clarity of research or storytelling.
  • Evidence of community or local engagement in the research process.
