'Decolonising peacebuilding' challenges the dominance of Eurocentric, top-down models that have shaped international interventions, calling instead for approaches grounded in the histories, knowledge systems, and political struggles of communities most affected by conflict.
    Bringing together scholars and practitioners, this discussion examines methodological approaches used to decentre power hierarchies in knowledge production and practice within peacebuilding and transitional justice, including reflective and accountable positioning and the privileging of marginalised and subalternised knowledge through spiritual, creative and other methodologies.
