EMERGING PERSPECTIVES: THEORIZING EXTRACTIVISM AND SOCIO-TERRITORIAL CONFLICTS IN POST PANDEMIC AMERICAS
Date: Thursday, October 28, 2021 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM (PST) Zoom – Join us here
Since 2018, a wide range of studies have sought to enrich our understanding of the economic, political, cultural and socio-ecological impacts of extractivism. These innovative perspectives however have not been sufficiently put in conversation with one another, and much is to be gained from doing so. While it is impossible to offer a complete inventory of all these contributions arising from different disciplines and sites of knowledge production, a limited and partial review of some of these illustrates how new perspectives are struggling to emerge.
How do we translate these emerging perspectives into more effective lines of sight that can guide our inquiry, research, and action?
