Dr. Jola Ajibade will present: “The justice conundrum in coastal adaptation: should we retreat or invest in floating climatopias?” Register here to join us! Dr. Jola Ajibade is an associate professor of geography and a scholar activist who applies both environmental justice and political ecology lenses to study the intersections of climate risk, urban disasters, resilience planning, coastal management, and societal transformations. Her work advances ideas about just urban adaptation through embracing feminist, decolonial, and antiracist approaches as well as care ethics that can lead to more just, livable, and sustainable urban futures.
This webinar is free and open to all, and will run from 5:30-7:00 pm. There will be a Q&A discussion period following Dr. Ajibade’s talk.
