Green Letters invites papers of up to 6000 words in length for a special issue on Critical Psychedelic Studies and the Environmental Humanities, guest-edited by John Miller (University of Sheffield), Christie Oliver-Hobley (University of Sheffield) and Peter Sands (University of York).

In the wake of neoliberalism, academia is increasingly being turned into a market imperative, marked by the rising global popularity of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) courses and the concomitant reduction in funding for humanities departments. This situation presents a crisis for the Humanities and the values and forms of knowledge it stands for. This crisis is manifesting itself in ways such as the persistent gap among disciplines as well as between scholarship and lived experiences. The breakdown of disciplinary boundaries and the consequent intermingling of Humanities and Sciences has led to the rise of new knowledge systems.

Despite the growing tide of decolonization, scholars of Arabic-Islamic in the west has refrained from engaging with decolonial theories. Dimitri Gutas' most recent "paraphilosophical" thesis raises even more questions about the entrenchment of the secular in the study of philosophy in the Islamic world. Decoloniality can help scholars from falling into the traps of orientalist scholarships. Approaching the Arabic-Islamic tradition from the celebrated vantage point of critical theory is helpful for scholars from the north and south alike.

The International Conference on Minority Languages (ICML) will be hosted outside of Europe for the first time since its inception in Glasgow in 1980. Universidad Externado de Colombia is the proud host of this opportunity to bring together expertise from more than two continents, to share experiences and research regarding minority/minoritized languages. The ample linguistic diversity of the American/Abya Yala continent provides challenges, but also great examples of intercultural dialogue and multilingual cohabitation. ICML will be a great opportunity for knowledges to be exchanged, academic and practitioner experiences shared, and dialogues fostered.
