Planetary Extractions: Climate, Capital and Racial Futures
Through Planetary Extractions, we gather scholars, artists, and activists to think through modes of knowledge-production and collaboration that are not extractive within the university, an institutional form created through the extraction and commodification of land, life, and sovereign Indigenous intellectual traditions.
Composed of two plenary conversations and three panels, this symposium will engage diverse groups of faculty, post-docs, and students at Dartmouth and create a space dedicated to generating new, interdisciplinary collaborations around the study of race, Indigeneity, and the environment.
