Welcome to a Várdduo seminar with Kenna Sim

Movement is Foundational: Indigenous Perspectives on Climate Mobilities
Kenna Sim, PhD at LiU

Migration and movement, including displacement, planned resettlement, and immobility, are often identified as one of the largest future impacts of climate change. In mainstream climate adaptation frameworks, climate migration is commonly perceived as a contemporary phenomenon that is severed from historical, political, social, and economic contexts, including ongoing processes of racial capitalism and colonial dispossession. Further, it has only recently been acknowledged in mainstream research on migration, resettlement, and climate change that Indigenous peoples have long-standing traditions of mobility and movement that differ from common understandings of migration.

All interested are welcome to participate!
The seminar will be held both on site in Fatmomakke NBET level 4 and on Zoom. Those who want to participate via zoom register here, link will be sent out the day before the seminar.
