’Epistemologies of Land’ Webcast Series – Louisa Prause – 10 June 2021 | 15:00-17:00

Abstract: The ‘Epistemologies of Land’ webcast series will host international experts for discussions on the epistemology of land, ahead of a related publication which will highlight the role of the land on, and with which, human relations are enacted and how this land affects the knowledge that is generated and brought to use in social relations. The events are open to interested graduate and postgraduate researchers.

Speaker: Louisa Prause is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Agricultural Economics, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.

Louisa’s research aims to uncover where efforts towards sustainable transformations of western societies have negative, sometimes unintended environmental and social consequences. She does this by highlighting such impacts in the Global South with a focus on land and agrarian relations and the extractive sector. Her current project deals with the bio-economy and the impacts of the digitalisation of agriculture on labour and agrarian relations, land conflicts & data sovereignty.

Attendance is free but spaces may be limited, so please email to reserve a space in the Zoom audience. Please be aware that we will take a recording of this event, which may include any questions and responses delivered by the audience.
