Climate News: ANU School of Regulation and Governance webinar guest, Fernando Racimo, talks about his book, 'Science in Resistance'
Book author and associate professor, Fernando Racimo, discusses academia's complicity in the polycrisis, and its potential for transformation towards serving social and ecological well-being.
His book, "Science in Resistance", provides a first-person account of the Scientist Rebellion, a global movement of scientists and scholars rising in collective resistance for climate and social justice.
Racimo combines his own experiences in activism with interviews with dozens of scientist-activists around the world, as well as insights from research on activism and direct action.
Racimo, an Associate Professor of Ecology and Evolution at the "University of Copenhagen", explores the challenges academics face when taking a stand against systems of oppression.
He focuses particularly on how academic institutions are complicit in exploitative and extractive logics, and how they could be transformed from the bottom up to become institutions that foster social and ecological well-being.
The webinar was organised by the School of Regulation and Global Governance from the Australian National University.
