This interdisciplinary symposium probes the scope and scale of present-day Caribbean social emergencies brought about by climate colonialism and centuries of racial capitalism. We assess the opportunities for regional transformation, transnational accountability, and reparative ways of knowing and dwelling amid crisis. We focus on what climate repair looks like today -- the emerging vital alignments that seek to interrupt capitalist systems of death and environmental destruction.
Hosted by the Robert L. Heibroner Center for Capitalism Studies, co-sponsored by The New School for Social Research, The Department of Sociology and the Department of Historical Studies; Eugene Lang College, Global Studies; Mellon Initiative for Inclusive Faculty Excellence, The New School.
