Rethinking Ecocide

When: Tuesday, June 21, 2022, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Where: Online

On Tuesday 21 June, Queen Mary’s Centre for Climate Crime and Climate Justice and the IHSS Climate Emergency Group will co-host an event that explores the prospects for a new legal concept of ecocide. Following up on an earlier panel event on the ‘Politics of Ecocide’ held on the 7 June, this panel will discuss the question: will the law of ecocide can create a new ontology, or will it simply reinforce the colonial binaries and abyssal thinking that have brought us to this point?

  • Chair: David Whyte, Queen Mary
  • Hannah Meszaros Martin, Goldsmiths University of London
  • Marília de Nardin Budó, Federal University of Santa Catarina, Brazil
  • Tameka Samuels-Jones, York University, Canada
  • Alexis Alvarez-Nakagawa, QMUL
  • Jose Atiles, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

**Please note this is an online event and joining details will be sent on the day
