The JORMA International Journal of Health and Social Sciences invites submissions for a special issue titled Decolonial Trajectories. This issue aims to foreground critical scholarship that interrogates the entrenched colonial logics that continue to shape higher education and knowledge production globally, with a particular emphasis on the global South.
This special Issue seeks contributions that push the boundaries of disciplinary conventions, offer decolonial theoretical innovations, and advance the practice of decolonial scholarship in response to contemporary socio-political and economic challenges.
Submissions may draw from a wide range of methodological approaches and should aim to contribute to curriculum transformation, knowledge justice, and the broader project of decolonial liberation. We welcome interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary submissions.
Possible themes include (but are not limited to):
- Decolonial approaches to curriculum design and pedagogy

- The role of higher education in social and political transformation
- Critiques of neoliberalism and coloniality in academic institutions
- Knowledge production, access, and power in the Global South
- Intersections of race, class, gender, and colonial violence in educational contexts
This special issue aims to serve as a space for critical dialogue, intellectual resistance, and scholarly activism. Submissions that centre Indigenous knowledges, lived experiences, and community-engaged research are especially encouraged.
