Women in the shadow of Slow Violence

Critical Ecologies

This episode discusses the concept of slow violence and the differential impact it has on women and girls when we talk about the environment and climate change. MA student Jenifer Sánchez helps us think about and consider the concept of intersectional ecology to understand that slow environmental violence is not only crossed by the category of class, but by gender, race and even cultural and religious aspects. Such an analysis allows us to carry out a deeper project of critique and transformation, and places environmental concerns at the centre of any progressive social struggle.
