2026 POLLEN Conference in Barcelona

We are excited to join the Political Ecology Network (POLLEN) conference in Barcelona from June 29 to July 3. Our panel Political Ecology of Disasters and Development engages in an interdisciplinary dialogue on how disasters are socially produced, represented, experienced and governed, by inviting contributions that apply a political ecology lens to analyze how multiscaled processes and relations of ecology, capitalism, and power produce differentiated impacts and experiences of disasters and development in situated places around the world. We are also interested in collaborating with political ecologists who are undertaking conceptually innovative and empirically rich research on disasters and development.

This panel is part of the World Ecology of Disasters in Development in East Asia (WEDiDEA) project at the Research Institute for Humanity and Nature (RIHN).

We hope to make a brief report in the next post.
