Theme: Mapping ecological distribution conflicts, framing environmental justice movements by Prof. Naw Thiri May Aye
- Reading workshop: July 18 (Thursday, 12:00 - 13:30) / Venue: RM. 10-428, BLDG. 10, SOPHIA UNIVERSITY
- Speaker workshop: July 19 (Friday, 17:00 - 18:30) / Venue: ZOOM
About the theme:
Social mobilizations are crucial for addressing environmental concerns and promoting sustainability. The conceptual frameworks, including environmental justice, ecosystem people, ecological resistance, eco-political movements, the environmentalism of the poor, livelihood movements, and politics from below, all focus on marginalized groups fighting against harmful extractive activities. These groups value natural resources and ecosystems over monetary gains. The growing number and connection of environmental protests globally have led to the recognition of grassroots activism as a "global movement for environmental justice." This presentation will explore how these grassroots movements create and promote sustainable alternatives, helping us live within planetary boundaries.
About the speaker:
Naw Thiri May Aye is an assistant professor at the Sustainable Society Design Center within the Graduate School of Frontier Sciences at the University of Tokyo. She is interested in human-nature relations, exploring grassroots resistance, social movements, ecological distribution conflicts, environmental justice, and responses to natural disasters.
