Abstract

This article highlights the intimate relationalities between climate change and transnational feminist theory to ask: how do we responsibly inherit? Through a questioning of inheritances and how we reproduce the status quo, this article endeavours to intervene in pedagogical and epistemological conversations about how we know and teach transnational feminist theory and climate change. A planetarian pedagogy offers us prisms to move responsibly towards anti-colonial imaginations that do not simply reiterate violences of capitalism and colonialisms, and at the same time offers us ways to think about transspecies realities.
