Conceptualising healing in human-environment entanglements.
This special issue advances "healing" as an analytical lens for examining (non)human--environment relations amid planetary crisis in the Americas. By shifting attention from damage to the practices that seek to heal disrupted relations, it argues that centring Indigenous and local perspectives can g...

By shifting attention from damage to the practices that seek to heal disrupted relations, it argues that centring Indigenous and local perspectives can generate innovative responses to environmental challenges and broader social transformation. Drawing on decolonial and feminist approaches, the issue conceptualises healing through three intersecting dimensions: a) its transformative potential; b) its emergent, non-linear temporalities; and c) its material properties, including the diverse forms of knowledge it activates. Further, we also discuss the challenges of using and translating notions of "healing" across cosmologies and different socio-political contexts. We therefore understand healing not as a static framework or a solution but rather acknowledge its inherent incompleteness and view it as a continuously evolving process.
