Market capitalism is fundamentally about ensuring a culture of disposability; maintaining the illusion of separation by creating grotesque quantities of garbage. I respond with a five-pronged queer-ecological approach to eco-social justice: individual behavior, community action, reimagined infrastructural redesign, corporate accountability, and policy transformation. I explore radical symbiosis through neurodivergency and the arts, a lived Queer Ecology—the basis for what I call queer anarchy: relational, counter hegemonic practices that explicitly disrupt patriarchal, heteronormative, ingrained ideologies of separation and extraction. 

Cara is mother, artist, author, professor, action-philosopher, and environmental-justice organizer. She has published widely on critical philosophy, climate justice, art, epigenetics, gender, sexuality, and ethnic studies, including the critically-acclaimed Zazu Dreams: Between the Scarab and the Dung Beetle, A Cautionary Fable for the Anthropocene Era, copies of which will be given away at this talk!

Hope to see you there!
