Researchers from India, Germany, America, belonging to diverse academic traditions and differently situated lifeworlds will engage with questions related to ecofeminist futures. Ecofeminist theory and praxis, its interconnections with other critical approaches, its relevance and potential for informing creative resistance and the pursuit of environmental and intersectional justice will be the focus of the seminar.
