Climate Change, Decolonization, and Global Blackness

Decolonization and the Climate Crisis seeks to explore the linkages among three pivotal and simultaneously occurring catastrophes—criminality, displacement, pandemics—toward developing a set of principles regarding decolonization as an ethical approach to climate change. The class in operation with an FHI lab will view climate justice from the point of view of historical faultlines, exploring the the socioeconomic and political machinery that produce these projects of disaster in the first place.
