Abstract

This report asks what would it mean to decolonise the study of war from a geographical perspective? Section I turns to scholarship in International Relations to learn from existing approaches to decolonising war. Section II reviews some of the key feminist scholarship that has broadened war’s ontologies. Section III considers how decolonial, Black, and Indigenous geographies can further advance the decolonisation of war agenda, providing tools to better understand questions of agency, race, empire, and a civilian sense of place. The final section assesses what progress means for a sub-discipline that struggles to recognise the transformative potential of pluralist perspectives.
