Public seminar: Inequality and the Biosphere

Welcome to a public seminar on the intertwined nature of inequality and the biosphere! The purpose of this seminar is to share insights into ongoing research, cutting-edge talks, and different perspectives on the topic – to discuss and inspire an understanding of inequality as more than a socio-economic issue, and entangled with the climate and ecological crises we face.
