Global Environmental Justice and its Limits: Complexities of Time and Space

Description

Conference hosted by the Centre for Environmental Humanities at Aarhus University! We are delighted to welcome researchers, activists, artists and other civil society actors who wish to engage in a dialogue about concepts, practices, and multiple understandings of global justice in a moment of mounting environ­mental urgencies. We are grateful for the wonderful proposals which we received. Thanks to them we were able to put together an exciting program that reflects diverse experiences and backgrounds. In conjunction with the possibilities of online participation, we believe that this conference can make a substantial contribution to and diversify debates about global environmental justice.

We look forward to discussions about plural understandings of justice by exploring how different actors relate with the concept, and how they negotiate justice claims through space and time. In particular, we intend to discuss how the different temporalities and histories inherent to different notions of global justice play out in environmental and climate justice movements and how imperial/colonial pathways of extraction shape environmental justice claims and practices of transformative future-making. Furthermore, we intend to explore how to give form to (through narration, storytelling, performance, theories, video, writing) such histories and how stories – or other forms – can be assistive in breaking the course of environmental injustice.
