Can We Do Better? Climate Science and Colonialism - MCR Education Working Group Series on Climate and Colonialism

What does climate science, in its epistemology, methodology and practice, have to do with colonialism? While climate impacts clearly reveal the vulnerability of colonized and formerly colonized nations and spaces, what about the science itself? This first event in the My Climate Risk Education Working Group series on Climate and Colonialism explores these questions through the collective insights of scholars from disciplines as varied as history, energy policy, ocean diplomacy, interdisciplinary studies, environmental studies and sociology.

Speakers:

Lyla Mehta

Nikki Carsi Cruz
Chair of the Department of Interdisciplinary Studies at Ateneo de Manila University

Harriet Mercer
Historian and Interdisciplinary Scholar of climate history at the University of Cambridge
