As I continue my research for my Honors in the Major undergraduate thesis project this summer, I have been refining my qualitative analysis skills and reading lots of literature on decolonialism, environmentalism, and spatial justice. My current read is Walter Mignolo’s 2005 book The Idea of Latin America, in which Mignolo traces the colonial historyContinue reading “A Decolonial, Interdisciplinary Approach to International Climate Policy”
