SSHRC CG awarded 2024: Prevailing extractive logics allow some people to dehumanize and exploit whole classes and nations in order to take control of their lands and extract value from it, polluting and destroying in the process. These logics need to be remade in order to address climate change. This outreach project is part of a partnership between University of Alberta, the City of Edmonton (municipal corporation), and knowledge keepers and land protectors from the broader community and foregrounds meaningful relationality as reparative action on climate. Through walking and listening, participatory lunch-and-learn discussions, talks, a symposium, and a mini-residency for graduate students, participants and knowledge experts will co-construct deeper understandings of climate change and its impacts. Walking will be mobilized as an embodied method and mode for situated listening and for sharing knowledges and climate stories. Through a durational, repetitive nature of the activities in the same locations with different knowledge keepers and experts, participants will begin to layer disparate knowledges to create more complex understandings of climate shifts underway and what it will take to mitigate and adapt as communities facing crisis, which will be linked to the latest climate science. To address both the local and the global, the project uses mirror labs, one in Kansas, USA and one in Alberta, as a means to privilege the dissemination of locally situated knowledges and expertise and to be low-carbon. This grant will fund the Canadian mirror lab and support some knowledge-sharing activities between labs through virtual townhalls.
