This PDW aims to understand the planetary crisis not just as environmental problems like deforestation, carbon emissions, global heating or melting glaciers, but as the fundamental nature of our relationship with the planet that sustains us and the way we theorize these relations in our field. In the era of the Anthropocene, where human activity is changing the functioning of the earth system (Crutzen, 2006; Steffen, Crutzen, & McNeill, 2007), it becomes imperative to interrogate the epistemological and ontological basis of the knowledge that is deployed to understand both the problems of the planetary crisis and their proposed solutions. The Gaia hypothesis proposes that all organisms on Earth are interconnected and part of a single and self-regulating complex system that sustains the conditions for life on the planet (Lovelock, 1972; Lovelock & Margulis, 1974). While it might seem a radical and novel concept in Western philosophy, the notion of Earth as a living being, inseparable from human and nonhuman life, is central to Indigenous philosophies and cosmologies that predate Greek mythology by many thousands of years (Te Ahukaramu, 2005). The PDW will discuss these profoundly different worldviews and knowledge systems and explore possibilities of developing a more Earth-centric perspective in our research through collective reflection on the modalities through which Indigenous worldviews could inform our theories and methods. Such a decolonial imagination can generate new insights into understanding the ecological crisis while challenging the anthropomorphic biases and the economism that dominates our field, through a respectful engagement with Indigenous worldviews.
