Loving Feminist Literature

Attend and share. By the monash Liberatory Practices Collective,
part of the Shadow Syllabus, Emergency! Humanitarian Aid Under the Spotlight. See more after the speaker bios.

In this seminar, we will examine why and how hunger and famines are a form of slow (structural) violence created by economic and social policies, and/or can be deliberately weaponised through blockades and other violent tactics. The impacts of climate change can also exacerbate food shortages and famine. Officially, a famine has to be ‘declared’ by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) before UN agencies, governments, and NGOs worldwide must take action.

"Words won't feed them." Understanding the violence of human-created famine Learn about why and how hunger and famines are a form of slow (structural) violence created by economic and social policies or weaponised in war.

"At the heart of Richard Seymour’s new book Disaster Nationalism there is a disquieting dynamic equation: the far right has found ways to profit politically from disaster, and in the coming years we will see disasters increasing in frequency and intensity. We can expect the fortunes of the far right to keep rising as the disasters pile up."
