Why is the current ecological and climate c risis a feminist issue? In what ways can feminist methodologies and concep ts be mobilised to understand and act upon pressing more-than-human proble ms? During this event, Jasmijn Leeuwenkamp discusses these questions with four voices working in the environmental humanities and law: Astrida Neima nis, Rosi Braidotti, Emily Jones, and Jetske Brouwer. Nele Buyst will prov ide a poetic intermezzo.

Despite the tendency to objectify and qu antify ecological and climatic disruptions, these do not happen in an abst ract and external realm with respect to human bodies. As embodied beings, posthumanist and ecological feminists argue, we are materially entangled w ith various life forms for survival. Those relations are currently under t hreat from extreme weather events, pollution, loss in biodiversity, ocean acidification, and rising sea levels. How to reorient these vulnerable rel ations ethically, politically, and legally? How can we foster practices of solidarity and resistance?

In their new book How to Weather Together, Astrida Neimanis and Jennifer Mae Hamilton propose “weather ing” as both an ecological feminist framework and a set of practical tools for responding to environmental catastrophe. In SPUI25, Neimanis will lay out their ideas, and is joined in conversation by Rosi Braidotti, Emily J ones, and Jetske Brouwer. They, too, will share conceptual tools for posth uman and feminist ethics, politics, and law. Nele Buyst, additionally, wil l read poetry. Following the public defence of her dissertation “Rethinkin g Human and Nonhuman Rights in the Anthropocene,” Jasmijn Leeuwenkamp will moderate the discussion.
