Dear friends and colleagues, activists, students and teachers moved by the climate crisis we are in, you are all invited to attend and participate in the UC Santa Barbara Environmental and Climate Justice Hub’s conference, “Radical Climate Justice for the Global Commons,” which opens on Monday, October 4 and will run till Monday, October 25.
The call is below, and you can see the full call here: https://ejcj.orfaleacenter.ucsb.edu/2021-call-for-participation/
To contribute to the conference, please send by Saturday, August 28 an abstract/proposal of 100 words for your pre-recorded individual talk or a whole panel along with a brief biographical note on the speaker(s).
Please send your abstracts and any questions to John Foran (foran@ucsb.edu)
***
This conference invites pre-recorded talks and panel conversations devoted to concrete proposals and analyses addressing our cascading crises, assessing the kinds of movements that we have or need now, and imagining how we might connect both crises and movements in a common struggle for a better, more life-affirming and just global commons and future.
Final videos of 8-15 minutes per speaker or 60-90 minutes for a panel discussion will be due on Monday, September 20. We encourage international submissions!
In addition to the theme of Radical Climate Justice for the Global Commons, we hope to create spaces for real-time discussion and analysis of the People’s Assemblies to prepare for COP 26, the current state of the pandemic, and the unforeseeable events that will occur everywhere between now and then.
***
We welcome your proposals, analyses, visions, and practices in hopes of radicalizing climate justice for the global commons we seek to co-create. Let us be bold, creative, and brave – and come together in October 2021 to see how much of this we can do!
