The second EHJustice Workshop brings together researchers in the Environmental Humanities and environmental justice activists working in or with societies of the Global South. Within the range of network activities, workshops are smaller events that serve to prepare the intellectual ground for the conversations that will be developed at the larger conferences.

At the workshop, we intend to spark a discussion about plural (or pluriversal) understandings of justice by exploring how activists relate with the concept and what temporalities frame their justice claims. We seek to broaden ongoing debates on climate justice by being attentive to other sites of enunciation and other ways of knowing. In particular, we intend to discuss how different temporalities inherent to different notions of global justice play out in environmental justice movements - be they urban, rural or indigenous - , and how imperial/colonial pathways of extraction have a bearing on framing environmental justice claims.
