About this talk
A colloquium hosted by the Sarah Parker Remond Centre and co-sponsored by The Social Theory Centre, University of Warwick. This event brings the key terms in this title into conversation during a time when the climate crisis and shifting geopolitical relations create a global landscape of extreme jeopardy for many. This time marks a continuation of colonial violence and renewed conversation around settler/colonialist land dispossession, racialised forms of elimination, the extractivist theft of the life-sustaining resources, alongside rapidly advancing technologies of mass murder. As we enter an escalated phase of technologised militarism and global conflict, the analytic repertoire arising from studies of settler colonialism suggests modes of understanding that can link the ecological and the geopolitical as part of the material practices of extractivism and eugenics. The colloquium will be followed by a book conversation with Professor Mona Bhan, Professor Gargi Bhattacharya and Professor Goldie Osuri on their book, Settler/Colonialism in Kashmir: sovereignty, catastrophe, indigeneity (MUP, 2026). There will be a reception after the event.
