My name is Pina, I use the pronouns she/her, I am currently a Master student of the programme “Changing Societies” at university Basel. I am interested in feminist, de-colonial, antiracist and critical thinking. My currently biggest field of interest are human/nature relations and the entanglement of the anthropocene with colonial, patriarchical and capitalist strucutres. My second field of interest is philosophy of education and pedagogy, alternative education and the role of it in times of planetary crises.
Two great lectures from last year’s millenium conference.
One about animality, decolonization and becoming “inhuman” with Mel Y Chan, Zakiyah Iman Jackson and others : ▻https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZqtJnGkVIQ
and one about rehinking temporal and spatial entanglements with Tim Ingold, Indepal Grewal and others: ▻https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSZJFOHPuo4&t=754s
Very interesting anthology comprising various essays that engage with the diverse work of the great Sylvia Wynter. Her work is highly relevant and important for decolonial thinking and acting. Especially in overcoming the modernist and monohumanist “story of man”.

Why We Need a Decolonial Ecology

Environmental destruction is inseparable from relationships of racial and colonial domination. It stems from the way we inhabit Earth, from our entitlement in appropriating the planet. All of which means we must recast the past. A conversation with Malcom Ferdinand, whose book, Une écologie décoloniale (A Decolonial Ecology), won the Foundation for Political Ecology literature prize in 2019.
