The Worldeater Series of online workshops traces the evolution of colonial sustainability through the following themes:

 

Workshop 1 on 6 Nov: Lawful and righteous Christian terrorism

• Doctrine of Discovery
• Great Chain of Being
• Institutional justifications

 

Workshop 2 on 13 Nov: Colonialism caused the climate crisis

Workshop 3 on 20 Nov: Industrialisation of colonial sustainability

 

The Worldeater Series is hosted by co-authors of Colonial Sustainability: Tracing the Sustainability Industry’s Ecocidal Lineage from the Doctrine of Discovery (Sayson, 2024).  The workshops are facilitated by co-authors Samantha Suppiah, Anna Denardin and Luiza Oliveira of the POSSIBLE FUTURES Crew, with plenary discussion and closing commentary from co-author, renowned decolonial scholar and Co-President of Frantz Fanon Foundation, Prof. Nelson Maldonado-Torres.

 

Participants of this workshop series can expect to be introduced to decolonial perspectives and discussions in each of the three themes.  A two-page brief and 30min discussion video on the theme will be provided ahead of each workshop.  Workshops themselves will be highly participatory, in collectively interrogating colonial sustainability.

 

We welcome professionals, academics, activists and students to join us in learning about, and grappling with, colonial sustainability - as we witness the Worldeater amass for the 29th COP in Baku...
