IAS Seminar: (Re)producing nature in climate change: examples from Italy

About this event

Institute of Advanced Studies (IAS) Visiting Fellow Dr Sara Bonati will deliver a seminar on their research.

Climate change is reconfiguring the ways in which society relates with nature and conceptualises it. The challenges posed by climate change ask for innovative ways to approach ‘nature’, ‘work with’ it, and ‘save’ it. The proposed presentation will focus on the ways nature is used, re-used, re-assembled, and re-conceptualised in the ongoing climate change debate, producing new socioecological relationships that shape new forms of ‘nature’. By proposing examples from Italy, as a country in the Mediterranean climate change hotspot, the presentation aims to critically reflect upon controversial responses to climate change, going through different examples of (mal)adaptation in which nature is involved, and question its consumeristic and neoliberal interpretations. The lens of more-than-human geography is here applied.

Arrivals from 11.45am for a 12pm start. For those joining in person, lunch will be served after the seminar from 1pm.
