Introduction: The Political Ecology Network (POLLEN) conference will take at the University of
Dodoma, Tanzania, hosted by the Department of Geography and Environmental Studies to
critically engage with contemporary issues in political ecology focusing on how to think and
plan for plural and just futures amidst the unfolding and entwined biodiversity, socio-
ecological and climate crises. These crises make the challenge of moving towards more plural
