In this Earth Day Keynote, Prakash Kashwan invites collective thinking on how to build scholarly communities that foster rigorous exchange and learning without promoting celebrity culture or reinforcing structural oppressions. To do so, Kashwan unpacks the somewhat counter-intuitive entanglements between the oppressive hold of crass positivism and a variety of depoliticized counter-responses that tend to flatten questions of scale, materiality, and politics of representation. In these responses, violent silences are replaced by rhetorical rejection of catchy abstractions of capitalism, coloniality, and (western) science. Such fragmentation of progressive responses is owed, in part, to ontological and epistemological differences between social sciences and humanities. Yet, we must guard against relying solely on counterarguments that stand across a convenient epistemic chasm from the dominant modes of research, analysis, and policymaking.

Announcing another ECPWG event!

Our analysis demonstrated that the connection between mine opening and the closure is the enduring value of land as a means of social reproduction for rural and previously agrarian groups, from the establishment of coalfields through to mine closures and the forthcoming energy transition. (2/3)

A Just Transition or a Downward Spiral? Land and Livelihood Transitions to and Away From Coal Mining in India When coal mines expand across Central and Eastern India, agrarian groups typically object strongly to displacement. Meanwhile, and often in the immediate vicinity of the expanding mines, the previous...

This freshly minted article published in the Journal of Agrarian Change analyses the enforced and highly challenging livelihood transitions to and away from coal mining in India. (1/3)
