Dina Lupin is a legal theorist working in feminist, queer, and decolonial philosophy. In her current research, she examines the ways in which Indigenous communities are subjected to practices of silencing and epistemic injustice in consultation processes, and in the ways in which these communities resist and subvert oppressive practices. Dina is a researcher in the Philosophy Department at the University of Vienna and she is the Director of the Global Network for Human Rights and the Environment (gnhre.org).
Decolonization not only requires greater inclusion of marginalized knowers, but it also requires that systems are put in place that enable and fund Indigenous-led and conceptualized research and policy-making processes.
