All Our Kin: Ecologies of Justice in Colombia

Speaker: Kimberly Theidon, Henry J. Leir Professor in International Humanitarian Studies, The Fletcher School of Global Affairs, Tufts University Talk description: In 2016, the Colombian government and the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia signed Peace Accords that marked the official end of the longest armed conflict in the Western Hemisphere. More than fifty years of war left 200,000 people dead, 150,000 disappeared, 7 million internally displaced, and 8.6 million registered victims. The environment itself was also declared a victim of the conflict. From toxic chemicals to land mines, from rivers tinged with blood to vengeful mountain gods, from bombed oil pipelines to deforestation, there are multiple environments and actors that play a role in post-war reconstruction and coexistence. To capture these assemblages during this lecture, Kimberly Theidon will focus on the Atrato River, Colombia's longest and most-polluted waterway. On this river, lifeways and waterways converge; as the Atrato winds through the Afro-Colombian, Indigenous and peasant communities of Urabá, the river gives and is life. More about the speaker: Kimberly Theidon is a medical anthropologist focusing on Latin America. She is the author of many articles, commissioned reports, three books and an edited volume. Entre Prójimos: El conflicto armado interno y la política de la reconciliación en el Perú (Instituto de Estudios Peruanos, 1st edition 2004; 2nd edition 2009) was awarded the Latin American Studies Association 2006 Premio Iberoamericano Book Award Honorable Mention for outstanding book in the social sciences published in Spanish or Portuguese. Her second book, Intimate Enemies: Violence and Reconciliation in Peru (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2012) was awarded two 2013 Honorable Mentions from the Washington Office on Latin America-Duke University Libraries Book Award for Human Rights in Latin America, and the Eileen Basker Prize from the Society for Medical Anthropology for research on gender and health. In her most recent book, Legacies of War: Violence, Ecologies and Kin (Duke University Press, 2023) Theidon considers the multiple environments in which conception, pregnancy, and childbirth unfold, reimagining harm to account for the impact of armed conflict on individual people as well as on more-than-human lives, bodies, and ecologies. Her co-edited volume, Challenging Conceptions: Children Born of Wartime Rape and Sexual Exploitation(Oxford University Press (2023) offers case studies on children born of wartime rape, their mothers, families and communities, aiming to contribute to more humane policy responses and interventions. She is currently completing Theaters of War: Working with Former Combatants in Colombia.
