What might it mean to take ecology seriously?

Löwgren, Sara ; Hegelund, Freja Marie LU orcid and Tãnãsescu, Mihnea (2024) The Political Ecology Network conference (POLLEN24) p.175-175
Abstract
In which watershed is your field site located? What is the bedrock underneath your
interlocutors like? What species other than humans are living in your study areas? The question of ‘where is the ecology’ is not new in political ecology, but the imperative to take ecology seriously remains difficult and at the same time crucial when conducting critical research at a time of climate crisis, extractivism, and mass extinction. Adding to the complexity are questions about decolonization, the role of Western European science, and different kinds of knowledge. But the fact that something is tricky does not mean we, as political/human ecologists, should not try. We, a group of human ecologists in Europe, invite you to join us for a... (More)
In which watershed is your field site located? What is the bedrock underneath your

The question of ‘where is the ecology’ is not new in political ecology, but the imperative to take ecology seriously remains difficult and at the same time crucial when conducting critical research at a time of climate crisis, extractivism, and mass extinction. Adding to the complexity are questions about decolonization, the role of Western European science, and different kinds of knowledge. But the fact that something is tricky does not mean we, as political/human ecologists, should not try. We, a group of human ecologists in Europe, invite you to join us for a conversation about how we might incorporate ecological as well as other knowledge of the more-than-human world into our research without being experts. This session will take the form of an Open Space where you will be invited to share, listen, explore, and discuss experiences with others. While you do not need to submit anything beforehand, we ask you to prepare by thinking about examples of how you, or someone you know of, has attempted to or would like to take ecology seriously in your research. We need you to stay for the full session, if possible. We envision this session as a supportive, inspiring, and regenerative space, and welcome you to join us! (Less)
