As we bear witness to the wastelanding of the earth by late liberal capital, we can strike at capital by mapping the abundance it fears. Corporate-induced climate change is bringing about the demise of capitalist economies of scarcity, making way for Indigenous economies of abundance. Indigenous knowledges center the laws of the elements discerned through the art of kilo, keen intergenerational observation, forecasting, and activation that enable us to turn devastating conditions into renewed possibilities for abundance. In this talk, I focus on the awe-inspiring moʻo reptilian water deities who are battling leaking US military jet fuel tanks in Hawaiʻi.
3 copies of "Mapping Abundance for a Planetary Future: Kanaka Maoli and Critical Settler Cartographies" will be raffled among the virtual and in-person attendees.
Every week during the academic year, the Hoch Cunningham Environmental Lectures feature speakers from government, industry, academia and non-profit organizations to give presentations on environmental topics. This is a great opportunity to broaden your knowledge beyond the curriculum, meet other faculty and students and network with the speakers.
Students, faculty, staff, and members of the community are welcome to attend.
The Hoch Cunningham Environmental Lectures are made possible thanks to the generosity of Daphne Hoch-Cunningham J82, A18P and Roland Hoch A85, A19P.
