Dear CICADA community,

Please find below information about a panel organized by the Centre for 
Society, Technology, and Development (STandD) at McGill University that 
might be of interest.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear STandD Community,

Please join us *Tomorrow* *via ZOOM*, _October 23rd from 12:30-2:30pm_, 
for our Upcoming Panel:

*Pedagogies for the Anthropocene/Ecozoic *

***An Interdisciplinary Dialogue *

**

**

*From the Anthropocene to the Ecozoic *

*Drs. Peter Brown & Dina Spigelski *

Leadership for the Ecozoic (L4E) is a McGill-based initiative dedicated 
to helping humanity, and the rest of life’s commonwealth escape the 
[well-known] failures of the Anthropocene to a more promising future. 
Thomas Berry envisaged the Ecozoic where human societies and the global 
community of life live in mutually enhancing relationships. We are a 
partnership of universities aimed at higher education reform with three 
primary goals: 1) to advance transdisciplinary scholarship to educate 
and empower new leaders; 2) to co-create a global research-to-action 
network; and 3) to build a global network of campuses that mobilize 
higher education resources to mitigate multi-faceted, human-induced, 
planetary declines in life support capacity. L4E courses, a rigorous PhD 
program, internships and field trips provide students with the 
background, tools and leadership skills to design and bring into being a 
flourishing of life on our planet.

*Decolonial Epistemologies for Indigenous Territories of Life *

*Dr. Colin Scott *

Decolonial action in domains of conservation demand a further leap from 
interdisciplinarity to trans-epistemic dialogue and learning. Relational 
ontologies underwrite the knowledge, norms and institutional processes 
of Indigenous ‘territories of life,” as these are coming to be 
recognized in global discourse. The premise is that Indigenous 
ontologies and epistemologies are vital decolonial keys for nurturing 
biocultural diversity and socio-ecological integrity. In such a context, 
how do we shift pedagogy from visions of ‘universe’ and ‘university’ to 
‘pluriverse’ and ‘pluriversity?

*Community Conservation and Local Livelihoods: The Institutional Canopy 
of Conservation (I-CAN) Project and its Findings *

*Dr. John Galaty *

**

I-CAN is a partnership project involving universities in Canada (McGill, 
Carleton and Victoria) and East Africa (Nairobi in Kenya and Sokoine in 
Tanzania), the African Conservation Centre (ACC), and pastoral 
development and conservation NGO’s working in the eight regional sites 
where the project has carried out research over the last six years. It 
has involved faculty researchers, Ph.D students, MA students, and a 
research associate, Dr. Jacques Pollini.  The major focus has been on 
investigating social and political factors involved in the governance of 
community-based conservation organizations, or Conservancies, and 
reconciliation between goals of resource conservation and local 
livelihoods, primarily of pastoral communities.

The project has addressed issues in Kenya regarding the inclusion of 
conservation in common or group holdings (Olkiramatian), local 
ontologies of conservation (Olkiramatian), how conservation goals take 
account of the aspirations and economic pursuits of youth (Laikipia), 
economic dimensions of community-investor partnerships (Samburu), the 
governance role of women in Conservancies (Laikipia), and in Tanzania, 
tensions between villages, investors and government in conservation 
(Loliondo), community-government co-management of Wildlife Management 
Areas (Enduimet), and conflict over land use in a wildlife corridor 
(Tarangire).

Dr. Pollini’s research complements that conducted by PhD and MA students 
by being comprehensive in scope, addressing all I-CAN research topics 
(livelihoods strategies, community conservation initiatives, 
conservation policies, institutional changes, land tenure changes, land 
and resources conflicts, governmentality and environmentality) in all 
I-CAN research sites in Kenya and Tanzania.
