Semianr: "Militant Research for environmental justice: Reflections from Puerto Rico"
This presentation traces the history and current context of the struggles for environmental and climate justice and against disaster colonialism in Puerto Rico, and the role of militant and activist research in these struggles. We discuss two projects we are currently collaborating on as potential examples of this type of research. The first is the Ecosocial Pacts in Puerto Rico project, a collaboration between the organizations Junte Gente and El Puente-Enlace Latino de Acción Climática, together with a wide network of participants, which seeks to jointly reflect on possible solutions to the socio-economic crises. ecological issues we face, through essays, illustrations, conversations, and encounters. The second is the "Debt and Environment" project, a collaboration between El Puente and the Citizen Front for the Debt Audit, which seeks to document the effects of debt/austerity policies on the environment in Puerto Rico, and create spaces for joint reflection and action between the movement for environmental justice and the movement for debt justice. The presentation will be accompanied by an exhibition of the printed illustrations that were commissioned for Ecosocial Pacts in PR.
