New Book
Monthly conversations since January 2020 and a blended one-day symposium on climate crisis and response within and beyond the academy has had many outcomes. One outcome is a new open access book published by members of the Earth Unbound Collective , Planetary Justice: Stories and Studies of Action Resistance and Solidarity.
Experiences of action are shared from those positioned within and beyond the academy seeking climate justice. They join from Australia, India, New Zealand, Canada and Scotland to explore the dilemmas of the relationship between activism and the academy.
The symposium and the book builds on years of dialogues convened by the Earth Unbound Collective: a collective situated at the nexus of debates on migration, xenophobic nationalism, Indigenous dispossession, extractive capitalism, extinction and climate change. Earth Unbound seeks to unravel boundaries to strengthen the disparate and collective movement for climate justice that has been expressed in blockades, land and environmental defender actions, mass protests and strikes, digital activism, as well as more ‘everyday’ activisms.
