Brooke Ackerly: "Climate Change Justice and Responsibility: Theorizing From the Coast of Climate Change"

Brooke Ackerly is professor of political science at Vanderbilt University and co-editor-in-chief of the International Feminist Journal of Politics (2018-2021). In her research, teaching, and collaborations, she works to clarify without simplifying the most pressing problems of global justice, including human rights and climate change. Her most recent book is Just Responsibility: A Human Rights Theory of Global Justice (Oxford, 2018). In this presentation, based on research in Bangladesh, Ackerly will offer a grounded normative theory of climate change justice as a problem of global governance, which has surprising implications for taking responsibility for climate change globally.
