What is the Scholar Studio?

The Scholar Studio is an opportunity for original thinkers who want to move beyond the ivory tower and into public conversation. It’s where research meets creativity: essays, videos, lectures, poetry, photography, and more.

This is more than a publishing opportunity. It’s a space to grow ideas, connect with others, and be part of a wider movement to democratise and decolonise knowledge.

We welcome contributors who are:


  1. Students and postgraduates exploring radical or decolonial ideas
  2. Independent researchers and writers working outside traditional institutions
  3. Cultural workers, educators, or organisers documenting resistance and reimagining systems
