We approach theory as a practice of world-building; a relational and material practice that shapes how we listen, think, feel, and act within our communities. Our research challenges Eurocentric epistemologies by drawing lines of affinity through decolonial, anticolonial, and anti-imperial scholarship. In doing so, we position theory as both foundation and horizon: a living framework through which alternate futures of knowledge, solidarity, and resistance may emerge.

We ground our work in feminist research methodologies that centre writing, listening, making, and building as interrelated practices of inquiry. This orientation demands an ongoing interrogation of the tools, methods, and positionalities that shape our research encounters. By attending to the relational ethics of knowledge production, we foreground accountability, care, and reciprocity as methodological imperatives. Our practice transcends disciplinary boundaries to envision research as a transformative endeavor that subverts and reconfigures academic norms.

We understand praxis as both process and outcome; the continuous movement between theorizing and doing, reflection and action. In our work, praxis manifests through diverse forms of activism, writing, art-making, and many interdisciplinary practices that exist in the spaces between. Radical praxis, for us, is a mode of intervention that centres disruption and remediation as essential tools for justice, repair, and collective world-building. It names a commitment to transforming not only what we study, but how we live, relate, and create knowledge in common.
