Article title: Knowledge production on decolonial feminism. Implications for epistemic politics

Conference Paper Overview
This paper explored the regional discrepancies in the global production of knowledge on decolonial feminism and aimed to investigate the epistemic marginalization of Central and Eastern Europe in this field.
Based on a bibliometric analysis, key findings of the research include:
• The (semi)peripheral position of Europe in the global knowledge production on decolonial feminism .
• Only one quarter of decolonial feminist research is conducted by single or first authors based in Europe.
• Some paper-specific indicators reduce the odds of a study to be initiated in Europe (e.g. higher number of co-authors), while others increase such odds (e.g. funding acknowledgement, higher number of references).
