Political Ecologies of Abolition and Sovereignty

Environmental perspectives shaped by Black and Indigenous knowledge have the power to shape our theories of environmental justice. Join us for new conversations at the intersections of Black and Indigenous geographies and political ecology. Each speaker will also join the Political Ecology Lab for an interactive discussion in the days following their talk. Sign up for our listserve to get more information on these small-group events.
