Canada’s ecological political economy and the climate crisis: an interview with Dr. Laurie Adkin

Abstract

Abstract Dr. Laurie Adkin is one of Canada’s pre-eminent environmental political theorists. In this wide-ranging interview, she draws connections across the political, economic, and personal challenges involved in taking on a capitalist political economy bent on the unsustainable exploitation of natural resources in the face of climate destabilization. Adkin discusses why it is important for concerned researchers and citizens to continue to speak out about these issues, and makes the links between environmental activism, decolonization struggles, and democratization.
