The Journal of Peasant Studies, the Collective of Scholar Activists from the South, TNI and PLAAS announce the international online conference on
Climate
Change and Agrarian Justice
Dates: 26-29 September 2022 Time: 13.00 - 15.30 CAT/ CET each day
Registration
is now open and free!
In a recently-published essay, ‘Climate
change and agrarian struggles’, members of the JPS editorial collective lay out a preliminary agenda for future work linking climate change to critical agrarian studies. From across a spectrum of scholarly and activist engagements, and in the lead-up to
COP27, we are hosting a series of conversations that speak to how we can build an anti-capitalist, trans-environmental and agrarian approach to confront climate change in rural settings. The full
programme is now available, including both plenary 'keynote conversions' and in depth parallel sessions designed to facilitate maximum discussion and debate.
