Invited plenary lecture: 'Global warming and the male meltdown'

Description

Plenary panel: 'Global warming and the male meltdown:The interplay of misogyny, right-wing populism and climate denial'

Female climate activists are faced with harsh criticism. This is no coincidence, as they criticize the techno-global capitalized system of mainly patriarchal institutions and values. Aware of the fact that their way of life is under threat, these right-wing populist movements give way to a strong anti-feminist bias and a strong climate skepticism. In this debate Sherilyn MacGregor (University of Manchester), Benedikte Zitouni (Université Saint-Louis) provides a 20 minute lecture, after which there will be comments from Leen Schelfhout (Extinction Rebellion) and Youna Marette (Manifeste de la Génération Climat). In addition to discussion of misogyny and backlash, the panelists will discuss the interwovenness of a ‘caring, inclusive democracy’ and ecofeminism.
