Call for Publications Theme: Ethnobiology and Philosophy Publication: Journal of Ethnobiology Date: Special Issue Deadline: 1.5.2022 __________________________________________________ From David Ludwig <[email protected]> Ethnobiology raises fundamental epistemological, ontological, and political questions about relations among peoples, biota, and environments. This special issue brings together emerging debates at the intersection of ethnobiology and philosophy. We want to explore how philosophy can contribute to reflexive ethnobiological practices and how ethnobiology can contribute to philosophical engagement with biocultural diversity. We are therefore looking for submissions that create meaningful dialogue between ethnobiological and philosophical debates - whether from philosophically reflexive ethnobiologists or ethnobiologically engaged philosophers. In employing a broad definition of both “ethnobiology” and “philosophy”, the special issue aims to bring together intellectual resources from Indigenous philosophies to environmental ethics to anthropological theory to philosophy of science. We want to foster debates about questions such as (1) diverse forms of producing knowledge about the biological world, (2) their interaction with heterogeneous ontologies and ways of being in the world, (3) relations between Indigenous biologies and philosophies, (4) the ethics and methodology of ethnobiological research, (5) challenges of decolonization in ethnobiology, and (6) relations between ethnobiological research and social-environmental challenges. The special issue aims to create a forum for ethnobiologists, philosophers, and aligned researchers to engage in a transdisciplinary dialogue about fundamental questions of ethnobiological research and their implications for engaging with biocultural diversity. Submissions that reflect this transdisciplinary dialogue are especially welcomed. This special issue welcomes research articles that do not exceed a limit of 8,500 words and follow the general submission guidelines of the Journal of Ethnobiology: https://ethnobiology.org/publications/journal-of-ethnobiology/about The submission deadline is 1 May 2022. For further information or clarification, feel free to contact the guest editors Abigail Nieves Delgado ([email protected]), David Ludwig ([email protected]), and Charbel N. El-Hani ([email protected]).
