Political Ecologies of Conservation: Extinction struggles, neoliberal natures and convivial alternatives - 4 ECTS
This year’s Wageningen Political Ecology PhD Spring School takes stock of important political ecology of conservation debates from a variety of different angles. Specifically, it focuses on three interconnected elements in these debates: 1) extinction struggles; and 2) neoliberal natures and 3) new visions for how we can do conservation (as well as relate to nonhumans) differently in more hopeful, politically astute and convivial ways.
