Dr. Daniel Ruiz-Serna
Abstract:
In this presentation Dr. Daniel Ruiz-Serna will explore a form of ecological violence that accounts not only for environmental degradation but that encompasses worldly relations between sentient beings. He argues that warfare is an experience extending beyond people and that it provokes damage to the relational worlds of human and other-than-human beings.
About the speaker:
Dr. Daniel Ruiz-Serna is a postdoctoral fellow in the department of anthropology at UBC and in the Center for Oral History and Digital Storytelling at Concordia University.
