A World-Changing Event: Indigenous Climate Geographies

Does land have to be a resource? Do economies have to be aimed at production? Professor Andrew Curley and PhD candidate Majerle Lister talk to us about indigenous scholarship's answers to these questions and shed light on the relationship between colonialism, fossil fuels, and climate change. They show how the tools of human geography can help analyze colonial concepts of the environment. This week's guests remind us that climate change can’t be understood without reference to the historical event and continuing structural injustice of colonialism.
