Description

  • Our short project aim: To create a collection of concepts in an online platform where we foster intercultural knowledge of radical alternatives. We are interested in post-developmental, decolonial processes, and we hope to inspire young people, skeptics and academics, activists, and beyond. For inspiration and as a base, we are using the Post-Development Dictionary (co-edited by Ashish) and other dictionaries
  • Our values and working principles: Fostering cross-cultural understanding; recognizing cultural rootedness; to make alternatives accessible; collaboration and ownership.
  • Where we are currently: The dictionary's first on-line platform will be published by the end of 2025. The platform will include 25 concepts with definitions, original illustrations and a diverse number of contributors from the Global South.
