Dear GEP-Ed Colleagues: I used the opportunity of an invitation from Current History to co-author with Jesse Ribot the following piece to think broadly about climate action and climate justice.
We talk about adopting (the spirit of) "Exploiter Pays Principle." This was a challenging topic that Jesse and I have been deliberating on for a while. We truly appreciate critical feedback of all sorts. (Abstract below) The entire issue is devoted to the theme of Climate Transformations. Current History has made this open access, so please check it out. Best wishes, Prakash Violent Silence: The Erasure of History and Justice in Global Climate Policy Prakash Kashwan & Jesse Ribot A widespread failure to recognize the social and political-economic causes of climate-related crises is an erasure of history that hides potential solutions and absolves guilty parties of responsibility. This blocking out of causality is perpetuating slow and silent violence against present and future generations. These erasures are illustrated by two short cases: the causes of famine and dislocation in the Sahel, and the causes of farmers' suicides in India. The essay highlights the need to recognize histories of exploitation, and introduces the "Exploiter Pays Principle," in order to deliver justice in climate policymaking. https://online.ucpress.edu/currenthistory/article/120/829/326/118790/Violent-SilenceThe-Erasure-of-History-and-Justice --------------------------------------------------------------------- Prakash Kashwan, Ph.D. (Google Scholar<https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=SRC3hyMAAAAJ&hl>) Associate Professor, Department of Political Science, University of Connecticut Co-Director, Research Program on Economic and Social Rights, Human Rights Institute Editor, Environmental Politics Vice Chair/Program Chair, Environmental Studies Section, International Studies Association (ISA) University of Connecticut 365 Fairfield Way, Storrs, CT 06269 Phone: 860-486-7951<tel:860-486-7951> https://kashwan.net/<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fkashwan.net%2F&data=04%7C01%7C%7Cc0092c59d3e34b8afb9b08d91cdda4dc%7C17f1a87e2a254eaab9df9d439034b080%7C0%7C0%7C637572560555299765%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=djJTEr7IBm4jJwhuPlyd5kGwabw2nIGeZFtQ64o%2F4tw%3D&reserved=0> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "gep-ed" group.
