Future Ethics is a workshop series on climate change, political action and the future of the human.
It invites collaboration between academics, policy specialists, activists, campaigners, educators, community workers. Participants are encouraged to offer not only alternative discourses and theories but experience of practices related to taking action on climate change.
The next workshop, no. 2, is in Manchester on 19th September and the title is 'What Price Security? New Issues in the Ethics of Risk’. It will cover topics such as food security, population, resource management, conflict, nuclear energy and peak oil.
The line-up so far is lacking in perspectives from women and from refugees; the issue of the impact of climate change and developed world 'security’ agendas on asylum seekers and refugees is one of the main aspects of workshop 2. Any issues around policy, gender inequality, immigration, food security etc. very welcome, and direct experience of the link between asylum, climate change, refugee status etc. would be amazing.
