Something I wanted to revisit, which we have touched upon in other threads, is the role of women in activism. The article by Glazebrook did a great job of outlining how women activists are still not getting the recognition they deserve. They are see…

@caroline22 said: One thing that stuck out to me in The Burning Season was the American filmmaker. I wondered why he was not more afraid, and getting threats himself. I would think if anything him being American would make him more of a target…

@slothman said: It's hard for me to imagine a completely different way of life, but something that I really like and potentially could see being implemented has a lot to do with this idea of short circuits, specifically food production/consump…

Of all the readings, the Acosta article on Buen Vivir resonated with me the most. I found the shift of thinking about development from the current perspective in Latin America where "the poor must now pay to imitate the rich" to a Buen Vivir system …

@fionaw said: Obviously a carbon cap is ideal but I don't really see it happening any time soon for a few reasons. One large reason being the hold large corporations have over policies in the US. Another reason I don't see it happening soon is…

@caroline22 said: I think the green economy efforts are a step in the right direction. This is because of the general integration between economic and environmental benefit, which I believe is a necessary combination to get big organizations/c…

I think that the green economy efforts are a step in the right direction as the idea itself is well-intentioned. I think as the articles mentioned, there is still an elitist take over by companies who utilize the cap and trade as a loophole. I belie…

@Madison said: I read about environmental destruction in Ecuador and the impacts of oil. One thing that was really interesting about it was a discussion surrounding deforestation on the Ecuadorian amazon. Bates discusses how it's not agricultu…

Besides Barbara Rose Johnston's article, I chose to read Kristina Lyons' "Decomposition as Life Politics" and Philip Howard's "The History of Ecological Marginalization in Chiapas." I found Lyon's article to be intriguing for its poetic wording and…

@joshua What citation style should we use for our papers? What font size and spacing?

I firmly believe that assumption of an anti-extractivist stance is demeaning of indigenous autonomy as you mentioned but more so insulting as a simplification of the issue. By subsuming indigenous peoples into one group or viewpoint, you (as in 'peo…

@ccstein said: I found todays material to be incredibly compelling. I have learned a fair bit about sustainable development in the United States and its many flaws, and then the modification to this model with the idea of just sustainable deve…

@caroline22 said: I agree, @a_hipp- the language used to depict the indigenous people in Two Worlds Collide was devastating and one of my biggest takeaways. We read books in high school like the Heart of Darkness where those types of words are…

I enjoyed reading more about counter-narratives to the usual pool of authors we read who are presumably in differing socio-economic and educational standings than the communities they write about. I find that there is a colonial legacy that continue…

@caroline22 said: As a quick reminder, my topic is oil drilling in the Ecuadorian Amazon polluting water and harming indigenous people of the region. This can absolutely be framed in terms of environmental justice- it is firsthand an example o…

@SpencerFier said: @a_hipp, I completely agree with your first paragraph, but find your second overly optimistic. As much as I'd love to see these massive NGOs reformed through public outcry and exposure of their wrong doings, the fact remains…

@caroline22 said: I believe in terms of taking back the mainstream environmental organizations, I just don't think it's feasible. The amount of resources and time that this would take would take away resources from other projects that can be d…

@Julieta said: I agree with your main point on how organizations need first to do a lot of introspection work. I was just wondering what you mean with "cyclical poverty. And by "threaten the autonomy they have as a nation," you mean that by t…

I think realistically, mainstream groups will hold onto their relevance, especially with the amount of funding they get, as the Big Three Dowie talked about. Ignoring them does not seem like a likely strategy as their social media campaigns are quit…

Acute poisoning and lack of taking responsibility for dangerous practices on behalf of industries, companies, and even the feds, in this case, reminded me of other incidents in the 1930s such as the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment. The weaponization of…
