PEI Faculty Seminar: Environcide- War, Society, and Environment
Emmanuel Kreike, Professor of History, will present, “Environcide: War, Society, and Environment,” at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 6, in Guyot Hall, Room 10. Lunch will be served at noon in the Guyot Atrium. Kreike is the second speaker in the Spring 2018 PEI Faculty Seminar Series.
The impact of war on society and the environment is conceptualized as war against humans or war against nature — genocide or ecocide. But war does not segregate nature and culture. Instead, it triggers “environcide” by destroying a society’s environmental infrastructure or displacing people from it, inviting disease, drought, famine, and social and environmental collapse.
You can watch entire lecture on Youtube.
