TALK: THE FAR RIGHT, ENVIRONMENTALISM AND (SETTLER) COLONIALISM: SOME INSIGHTS FROM AUSTRALIA – SUNDAY 8TH JUNE – 7PM

The Far Right, Environmentalism and (settler) Colonialism: Some Insights from Australia

As social and environmental crises escalate, ecological concerns are returning as an important talking point for the far right.  How does this relate to environmentalism more broadly?  What might this mean for eco-anarchist struggles going forward?  
This talk discusses how left, liberal and right wing politics struggle over the meaning of environmentalism, the risks of far right entryism and green/brown alliances, and what we might do about it.

The event will also highlight how thinking drawn from anti-fascist praxis, sociology and theories of (settler) colonialism can help us understand these processes.

Insights will be (mostly!) relevant to the UK context and there will be plenty of time for discussion.
