1-3 October: Conceptualizing Ecocide Conference

The Conceptualizing Ecocide Conference will take place at Utrecht University. This interdisciplinary conference brings together scholars, practitioners, activists, and policymakers to critically explore and advance the emerging concept of ecocide. Across keynote addresses, panels, and roundtables, we will examine ecocide from legal, political, pilosophical, artistic and pedagogical perspectives.

Friday morning, Susanne Knittel is to chair the panel ‘Pluralizing the Impacts of Ecocide’, in which Ifor Duncan is participating.

This conference is organized by the Conceptualizing Ecocide Project, funded by the Utrecht University Strategic Theme Pathways to Sustainability.

Registration is required: here.
