APRIL READING GROUP
The Decolonial Centre
🌱 Join our in-person and virtual April reading groups on Contemplating Black Feminist Ecologies.
🌎 We will explore the intimate links between the ecological crisis and systemic gendered and racial inequality under global capitalist modernity. Delving into Black feminist ecological thought, theory and wisdoms, participants will be invited to explore and (re)imagine what environmental justice looks like alongside forms of fugitive planning that challenge racial capitalism. We will consider our relationship with the nonhuman living world and what it would mean to decolonise our approach to nature, centering connection and care rather than extraction.
📚 Texts will include Black Feminist Ecological Thought: A Manifesto by Chelsea Mikael Frazier and Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer.
