An ongoing event series, featuring panel discussions, films, and calls to action.
2024-2025
In our era of climate-fueled superstorms, mass displacement, and resource wars, people are rising up against the unceasing violence of extraction, enclosure, and colonial dispossession. What resources do we have to break from this world of extraction and exploitation, and the institutions and worldviews that naturalize it?
More than a platform for dialogue, this virtual event series is a call to action. Join scholar-activists, scientists, conservationists, and frontline defenders of water and land as we co-create a natural history for our world in crisis – one that confronts the systems that reproduce colonial and ecological harms, supports communities leading struggles for justice, and honors and preserves life in all its forms – past, present, and future.
A virtual programming series organized by Red Natural History Fellows with The Natural History Museum.
