Research interests
Brian Noble is a Canadian Political Anthropologist & Etho-Ecological Action Researcher at pilipili. He publishes on decolonizing relations between Settler and Indigenous Peoples –and with non-human worlds of beings, the land –seeking practices that advance collective, livable earth futures together.Much of his research addresses how current and past expert knowledges interact – oppressively or in liberatory ways –with the practices of freedom of Indigenous Peoples and other knowledge communities –attending to how reciprocal, mutual, relational ethos positively displace yet-expanding colonizing, capitalist-extractivist forces. His books include the co-edited volume, and the Ethnographic monograph,.
