GIER has partnered with The EchoNetwork to produce a series of (virtual) encounters between environmental researchers in India and Canada. The purpose of these encounters is to learn how research is conducted in both countries and to exchange enriching experiences between academia and society at large.
GIER Director Madhur Anand is participating in a conversation that will explore the dynamics between creation and destruction grounded in artistic practice and ecological thought. This conversation will also feature Kathryn Lawson (PhD candidate in philosophy, Queen’s University) and Joel Ong (media artist and professor at York University). Katy Fulfer (philosopher and educator) will moderate the event.
