Unruly Dialogues is a space where the environment takes centre stage in conversations that break free from the confines of academia. We invite researchers, activists, students, practitioners, artists, and others to engage in open and dynamic dialogues—unruly in form and spirit—on the interwoven narratives of environmentalism and justice.

Our scope is deliberately broad, reflecting the diverse and complex nature of environmental crises. At its heart, Unruly Dialogues seeks to unravel the intricate connections between ecological challenges and the social realities that shape them—inequality, power dynamics, and structures of oppression tied to gender, class, caste, race, and more. From the politics of fermentation to land stories, seed preservation, fracking, flooding, dispossession, and social movements and solidarity, this is a space to interrogate the layers of our shared ecological struggles.

We celebrate creativity and diversity in expression, offering space for short reflections, visual essays, stories, poems, sketches, book or film reviews, and other formats within a concise 500–600 words. While the content here isn’t peer-reviewed, it is propelled by a shared commitment to fostering thoughtful and complex conversations about our changing ecologies and what justice means in these times.
