Intersectional Environmentalism

(Betasamosake Simpson Chapter 3 p46)

The attempted dispossession of KWE

• General discussion of Case Studies

• Mapping the Conversation

• Identifying key themes…. What social locations?.... how did they intersect?.... what was the role of eg Power, Whiteness, Cultural Normativity, Institutions, Policies, Space…. Etc?

• The role of the worker/ individual….. Killjoy…. Brick walls…. Passing the Buck…. Oppression…. Positionality

• Commonalities and Differences… Challenges, complexities, celebrations

• Organising strategies… How do we address oppressions related to race, migrancy status, gender, disability, sexuality?

•  How does theory help us?

Plan- How will the group represent the conversation in a visual way?

NB:

• The project should be carried out in a collaborative manner. All participants should have opportunities to contribute, all voices should be heard

• Discussion should identify key themes in case studies related to social locations and addressing oppressions; linking practice and personal experience to theory

•  The group should give an appropriate visual form to this discussion, attempting to synthesise main points of the discussion

•  The group should present the work to the lecturer, explaining the process and the outcome of their work together
