The Winter 2022 issue includes five original essays on topics as diverse as indigenous media practices and theory, Arab feminist filmmaking, and Kurdish women's art. A "short takes" section also presents ways to reimagine film and media studies historiography and curricula.
In their introduction, "Decolonial Feminisms: In Medias Res," Sundar and her co-editor Debashree Mukherjee (Columbia University) write that "the work of decolonization does not end at a definite historical milestone, and calls to decolonize become defanged when they are appropriated by the very institutions [they] seek to challenge."
Accordingly, the authors of this special issue "conceive of the decolonial... not as a coherent or definitive theory, so much as an invitation to reckon with the ongoing epistemic and material harms wrought through the nexus of coloniality, racial capitalism, heteropatriarchy, and the academy. "
