A Glance of Critical Island Studies Consortium

 The Critical Island Studies Consortium (CIS) was born in 2019 in Manila with the theme, “Critical Island Studies: The Islandic Archipelago, and Oceanic.” It is an academic network dedicated to challenging prevailing modes of knowledge production centered around the Northern Hemisphere. It aims to explore the epistemological and ontological underpinnings of emerging knowledge paradigms, develop a new planetary perspective from which to invent an image of the environment and create a new sense of nature with which to seek environmental justice, and explore theoretical, methodological, and artistic interdisciplinary perspectives in understanding concepts and categories such as “islandic,” “archipelagic,” or “islandscapes,” and other related terms particularly in Southeast Asian and Asia-Pacific literary, cultural, and trans-disciplinary studies.
