Kinship and Loss in a Warming World – Lessons from the Andean ‘Ayllu’
Kinship and Loss in a Warming World – Lessons from the Andean ‘Ayllu’
In this paper I draw inspiration from Indigenous notions of kinship, and particularly from the Andean ayllu, to demonstrate a form of intersubjectivity that moves beyond anthropocentrism and into the realm of communal inter-species responsibility. By shedding light on the deficits of traditional critiques of Western familial structures, I attempt a shift towards a political theory of kin relations that could substantiate climate action. Specifically, I foreground Indigenous cosmovisions as pathways for an affect understanding of environmental loss, arguing for a political praxis of communal imagination.

Towards a Regionalist Theory of Environmental Injustice: Addressing All Affected in Climate Frameworks
Towards a Regionalist Theory of Environmental Injustice: Addressing All Affected in Climate Frameworks
In this paper I attempt to develop a regionalist approach to environmental justice, in which Regions receive a cross-disiciplinary definition that highlights their suitability as a unit of analysis for climate frameworks. Of particular concern in this paper is the need to find theoretical as well as practical frameworks that are able to address all those affected by the social, economic, political and cultural ramifications of global warming. I am happy to share this paper is currently being revised for publication.
