This book discusses the vital importance of including indigenous
knowledges in the sustainable development agenda. In the wake of
colonialism and imperialism, dialogue between indigenous knowledges
and Western epistemology has broken down time and again. However,
in recent decades the broader indigenous struggle for rights and
recognition has led to a better understanding of indigenous
knowledges, and in 2015 the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
outlined the importance of indigenous engagement in contributing to
the implementation of the agenda. Drawing on experiences and field
work from Africa, Asia, Latin America and Europe, Indigenous
Knowledges and the Sustainable Development Agenda brings together
authors who explore social, educational, institutional and
ecological sustainability in relation to indigenous knowledges. In
doing so, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of the
concept of "sustainability", at both national and international
levels, from a range of diverse perspectives. As the decolonizing
debate gathers pace within mainstream academic discourse, this book
offers an important contribution to scholars across development
studies, environmental studies, education, and political ecology.
This book explores the relationship between the safety of
journalists and self-censorship practices around the world,
including local case studies and regional and international
perspectives. Bringing together scholars and practitioners from
around the globe, Journalist Safety and Self-Censorship provides
new and updated insights into patterns of self-censorship and free
speech, focusing on a variety of factors that affect these issues,
including surveillance, legislation, threats, violent conflict,
gender-related stereotypes, digitisation and social media. The
contributions examine topics such as trauma, risk and
self-censorship among journalists in different regions of the
world, including Central America, Estonia, Turkey, Uganda and
Pakistan. The book also provides conceptual clarity to the notion
of journalist self-censorship, and explores the question of how
self-censorship may be studied empirically. Combining both
theoretical and practical knowledge, this collection serves as a
much-needed resource for any academic, student of journalism,
practicing journalist, or NGO working on issues of journalism,
safety, free speech and censorship.
