About
In this session, interdisciplinary scholar, speaker, and author Dr. Farhana Sultana will present the text “Decolonizing Climate Knowledge: Repairing Epistemic Injustice and Loss in the Era of Climate Change,” which has been written for the Ways of Repair : Loss & Damage, “Texts of Repair” commission.
In “Decolonizing Climate Knowledge: Repairing Epistemic Injustice and Loss in the Era of Climate Change” Farhana Sultana documents loss and damage happening and how it impacts communities in the global South through the lens of climate coloniality. In doing so Farhana explores the loss and damage stories that are being told by impacted communities, and how these are interpreted and translated beyond these communities. She also draws attention to the care, repair and mutuality work that exists within and beyond impacted communities to highlight the unequal burdens of climate change.
