Devanshi Saxena (she/they)
Devanshi is a legal researcher affiliated with the Universities of Liège (EcoLAWgy, Faculty of Law, Political Science and Criminology) and Antwerp (Faculty of Law - Research Groups Law and Development and Government and Law). Drawing on decolonial feminist approaches, her research examines how law sustains colonial dispossession, knowledge appropriation and ecological harm and how it can listen and see differently. She explores whose voices count in governance, how power can be shared, and how collective action builds counter-power. Her scholarship and activism connect these questions to institutional responsibility, including that of universities, and to spaces for resistance and political agency.
