Adewale O. Owoseni is a scholar in the fields of African Philosophy and Environmental Humanities. His research outputs are propelled by the prevalent epistemic injustice aided bycolonial knowledge regimes that marginalize, repress or banish indigenous knowledge systems within the Global South (with specific emphasis on Africa), which are saturated with immense values for the vitalization of eco-justice in contemporary times. His current book project focuses on indigenous knowledge systems in Africa and the quest for Eco-Justice. This project examines the epistemological, metaphysical, ethical, political economy and the socio-cultural core of indigenous African knowledge systems (through narratives, storytelling and, myths among others) on the ecological entanglement of human-non-human interface, with the intent to discern alternative epistemic methods for engaging current environmental and ecological crisis. Adewale is a Faculty member of the University of Ibadan (Ibadan, Nigeria), where he also teaches courses in Philosophy. He holds a doctoral degree in Philosophy from the same University and was previously a postdoctoral fellow and research associate at the Center for the Advancement of Scholarship, University of Pretoria, South Africa. His recent articles have appeared in the *Journal of African Cultural Studies* (2024) and *The Philosophical Forum* (online, 2024)
