Over the past 20 years, EPD: Society and Space has focused on expanding the terrain of inquiry to address shifting political, social, and economic life, and decentering white, colonial, and Eurocentric perspectives, and developing theories to analyze both oppressive forces and alternative possibilities. 

Efforts at reworking these cultures of practice were not merely aimed at producing a multicultural and “diverse” discipline, but rather emerged from an epistemological critique that showed how political exclusion amplified matters of concern to some people and places while muting other ambitious, radical and engaged ways of knowing. Addressing this coupling between who is at the disciplinary table and what is discussed at it required serious and sustained reflection on the process of building, evaluating and disseminating knowledge.
