Organization and the ecological crisis
– a lecture series
Can we all be Climate Killjoys? On Critique, Complicity, and Collective Action
Time: 18. March 2026 from 15:00-17:00
Location: K2.53.
This is a series of public lectures in which connoted scholars will present research addressing the ecological crisis and organization. Speakers will focus on their research’s concrete suggestions for how we can better organize
and / or on the impact of their work for new and more productive forms of scholarly societal engagement today. The lecture series serves as a platform for discussion, networking, and collaboration among scholars, educators, students, and experts.
Can we all be Climate Killjoys? On Critique, Complicity, and Collective Action
What are the tensions, trade-offs, and possibilities for solidarity in being both scholar and activist? In this talk and discussion, I will reflect on experiences and examples of climate-related civil disobedience actions in Denmark, as well as my own positioning
as scholar activist. As TR/shop steward, I am closely familiar with forms of collective action and solidarity within Danish institutions, but also aware of their limits. Where does this leave me, and us, in this time when the world is burning and the university
as critical institution is under attack?
Laura Horn is Associate Professor in Political Economy at RUC, and an activist with Scientist Rebellion.
