Nurturing regenerative sovereignties through Indigenous and Country-led collaborations

The project aims to shift understandings of sovereignty from a concept to a series of practices by which pluralistic authority is drawn from intimate human and non-human relationships. It will collaboratively facilitate and document ongoing relationships in which Indigenous peoples recognise respond to the active agency of non-human elements. The project will co-author practical resources to support community-led work, eight papers and a book. The anticipated goal is to mobilise Indigenous knowledges in Australia and South Africa to nurture regenerative sovereignties - healing relationships between people and places - with significant implications for our collective response to social and environmental change.
