Inspired by environmental engineer Malcom Ferdinand’s seminal work Decolonial Ecology: Thinking from the Caribbean World, this day of intersectional reflection builds upon the understanding that in order to resolve the environmental crisis, we must take into account the social and racial inequalities inherited from colonialism and imperialism. Together with activists, artists, and thinkers, we invite you to join a conversation about ecology, land, and justice in solidarity with those fighting for them.
