Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, we engage some of our intimate understandings of decolonial thought. We reflect on aspects of our personal intellectual journeys and epistemic relationships with coloniality. Our aim is to be transparent with the reader about the ‘places we come from’ and to bring our multiple voices and perspectives underlying the different colonial realities we all live as researchers from the ‘global’ South. Our perspectives are therefore an outcome of thinking through decoloniality. We acknowledge that our individual and unique trajectories have shaped how we understand coloniality and how we subsequently attempt to decolonise our areas of research and ourselves, with the help of overlapping concepts (in feminist political ecology) of subjectivity, the body, and the other. Our aim is to expose our different interpretations as a necessary step to engaging, thinking about, and articulating thoughts on decoloniality in FPE research.
