Speaker: Joel Wainwright, Associate Professor of Geography, Ohio State University.
Location: CGIS South S050
Title: Climate Leviathan
Abstract: While there is much justifiable attention to the ecological implications of global climate change, the political implications are just as important for human wellbeing and social justice. In this talk, Wainwright posits a basic framework by which to understand the range of political possibilities, in light of the response of global elites to climate warming and the challenges it poses to hegemonic institutional and conceptual modes of governance and accumulation. The framework also suggests some possible means through which these responses might be thwarted, and political stakes in that construction of a new hegemony—which, to avoid suggesting we know or can yet determine the form it will take, we call ‘climate X’.
