21 — 21 September 2022, 10:00 am - 11:30 am | 10am CAT

Webinar

This webinar continues to explore climate justice education (CJE). It focuses on the socio-natural-politics of food and the role of adult education.

Food binds us to each other and Nature which generously yields the nutrition we require. How could a transformation of food systems ensure the health and wellbeing of all? And how could it heal our relationship with nature? How can adult education support sovereign systems built on principles of agroecology and local wisdoms and create conditions where ‘enough is as good as a feast’?

The webinar is free and will be recorded. We look forward to you joining us!

PIMA co-hosts the Climate Justice and Adult Learning and Education (ALE) Webinar Series with Canadian Association for Studies in Adult Education (CASAE), Adult Learning Australia (ALA), MOJA Adult Education Africa and Standing Conference on University Teaching and Research in Education of Adults (SCUTREA).

Climate Change Fiction: The South Asia Experience (episode 1)

About the episode

In this interaction between authors, scholars and activists, we hope to critically explore the reasons for South Asia being foregrounded as a zone for climate catastrophe in recent Western cli-fi (Kim Stanley Robinson, Ministry of the Future, Stephen Markley, The Deluge), as well as discover more about the extent to which this sub-genre has found roots in this region. Amitav Ghosh has led the way in writing novels with this theme (The Hungry Tide, Gun Island), besides critiquing the failure of literary fiction to engage with this set of questions.

Has speculative fiction/cli-fi from South Asia begun tooffer a nuanced and grounded representation of both the survival mechanisms espoused in the face of existential threats and possibilities for resistance and organisation at the grassroots level emerging in the region, as Vandana Singh and others have argued? Can climate change fiction indicate the scope for alternative paradigms emerging at present and in times to come?
