The Open Society Hub for the Politics of the Anthropocene (OHPA) and the CEU Department of International Relations are hosting a seminar on "The Unequal Anthropocene: Power and Resource Exploitation" with speakers Ayansina Ayanlade and Johanna Gautier Morin.
Co-chairs: Alexander Etkind, Erin Kristin Jenne and Patryk Labuda
Ayansina Ayanlade will discuss "Nigeria's Petrostate: Oil Dependency vs. Sustainable Development," focusing on the country's long-standing links between oil exports, dictatorship, and securitization issues and the decline in non-oil sectors, environmental degradation, and neglect of human capital.
Johanna Gautier Morin will discuss "Markets, Knowledge and the Politics of the Anthropocene: A Research Program on the Measurement of the Economic and the Environmental," focusing on the idea that accounting for carbon emissions and environmental destruction is simultaneously a political act, a scientific endeavor, a response to the needs of financial markets, and a tool for reducing our environmental footprint. International economic indicators have long ignored the interaction between the economy and the environment in national accounts.
