Why is it important?
It is important to re-imagine foundation theory so that we do not continue to draw on fundamentally oppressive, exclusionary, conventional paradigms. Without clear, articulated post-conventional theory we risk becoming (or remaining) as part of the problem, not the solution.
Perspectives
The limitations of conventional, modernist approaches must be thoroughly critiqued and resisted. The development of alternative approaches is fundamental for epistemic justice, social justice and environmental justice.
