other non-western environmental understandings have in creating climate change
strategies? Rosalyn Bold will outline the recent turn to cosmopolitics and
political ontology in the social sciences, which have allowed us to take
seriously the cosmological and environmental understandings of indigenous
peoples in Latin America, and worldwide. Contemporary philosopher of science
Bruno Latour explores how the modern mentality which assumes human control over
natural resources underlies extractivist processes causing climate change. Can
'other' worlding practices help us to strip understandings of climate change
and environment back to their roots and imagine more sustainable strategies?
Can taking such worlds seriously contribute to respecting existing sustainable
lifestyles and ways of inhabiting the environment? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
