In this webinar, hosted as part of the Zoryan Institute’s 2022 Climate Change, Human Rights & Genocide Webinar Series, Professor Lauren Eichler of Old Dominion University explores topics such as ecocide, the colonial ideologies behind it, and the impacts on Indigenous Peoples. This presentation explores how the dualistic and racist Western-colonial conceptions of \"human\" and \"nature\" have harmed Indigenous communities in three related ways: by delegitimizing Indigenous environmental ontologies, identity, and ethics, by dehumanizing Indigenous peoples, and by enabling the ecocide-genocide of Indigenous lands and peoples. The presentation also considers the value and limitations for Indigenous peoples of making ecocide an international crime.
This webinar was originally recorded on March 2, 2022.
