Dialogue: Climate and Environmental Justice

We are at a moment in time where we collectively need to understand that climate change and the environmental factors that touch our lives are experienced differently from the communities' lived experiences. This talk which was part of EPL's Dialogue series, was recorded on October 19, 2022 and features University of Alberta professors Dr. Debra Davidson and Dr. Sourayan Mookerjea discuss climate and environmental justice and what it means. Both speak about our current society's behaviours and reactions, how we got here and most importantly, how we go forward. About the speakers: Dr. Debra J. Davidson is Professor of Environmental Sociology in the Department of Resource Economics and Environmental Sociology at the University of Alberta. Her key areas of teaching and research include the social dimensions of climate change, and crises and transitions in energy and agri-food systems. She was a Lead Author in Working Group II of the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change’s 5th Assessment Report. Her work is featured in several journals, including Science, Nature, and Global Environmental Change, among others. She is co-editor of The Oxford Handbook of Energy and Society (2018) and Environment and Society: Concepts and Challenges (Palgrave 2018), and co-author of Challenging Legitimacy at the Precipice of Energy Calamity (Springer, 2011). Dr. Sourayan Mookerjea is a Kule Scholar of Climate Resilience and research director of the Intermedia Research Studio in the Department of Sociology, University of Alberta, in Treaty Six Territory where he specializes in intermedia research-creation, critical social theory, global sociology, and political ecology. His research addresses questions of ecological and climate debt, the cultural and class politics of renewable energy system change, and critically engages with eco-feminist degrowth and commons theory, specifically on the question of how to delink from the colonizer’s model of the world and from the world-ecologies of racial capitalism. He is co-director of Feminist Energy Futures Powershift and Environmental Social Justice and iDoc: Intermedia and Documentary as well as a co-investigator on the research-creation collaboration, Speculative Energy Futures. This event was offered in partnership with the University of Alberta's Speakers Bureau and Sustainability Council.
