Mapping Interventions: Toward a Decolonial and Indigenous Praxis across Communication Subfields

Abstract

Abstract Engaging organizational communication and rhetorical studies subfields, we develop a case for decolonial and Indigenous approaches that offer texture and depth. In the process, we flip the existing topographic “map” of the field and shift Eurocentric canons undergirding cultural and critical Communication Studies. Drawing on vignettes from our fieldworks, we argue for a decolonial critical intervention to affirm marginalized voices, experiences, and theories. Our focus demonstrates how Indigenous methods and decolonial theories advance more responsible engagements with Indigenous epistemologies. Providing a theoretical challenge to the occlusion of indigeneity, we offer a conceptual praxis-oriented mode of theory building that engages communities toward creating Indigenous Communication futures.
