(I have a big soft spot for black bears. We often get yearling bears recently kicked out by mom wandering neighborhoods in the foothills looking for snacks. they usually panic and end up climbing up a pole)

Exactly! TBF, if you are walking in the woods making noise and you do run into a bear or mountain lion there may well be something wrong with it & you are therefore in trouble, but a giant murder pony might seek you out to stomp on. Not the same problem!

I see the problem; you have a halloween mask in your brain.

that's the moose's driveway now

I am from a place with moose and bears and people have an outsized fear of bears and a very undersized fear of moose. Yeah, don't mess with bears, but you don't even have to mess with a moose, you just have to exist near it and it might decide to try and end you

Call for Papers for #BISA2026!

Exploring the relationship between imperialism, coloniality and environmental degradation.

This is a joint call with Colonial, Postcolonial & Decolonial WG, recognising that important work is being done at the intersection of our groups.

Deadline Friday 24 October.
Exploring the relationship between imperialism, coloniality and environmental degradation
Joint Call for Papers from the Colonial, Postcolonial, and Decolonial Working Group and Environment and Climate Politics Working Group
We are putting out this joint call in recognition that many researchers are working at the intersection of our two working groups - and during a time when the realities of this intersection between colonialism, empire, and the environment have never been more clear. This moment makes evident the interconnections between militarism and settler colonialism and genocide and ecocide, and therefore the need to situate our knowledge and approaches within anticolonial, indigenous and translocal perspectives.
Recognising the importance of scholarship that addresses these issues, we are calling for papers for BISA2026 that are related to the topics of how imperialism / colonialism / extraction / capitalism are in relationship with environmental degradation. This can be on a material level, where the functions of occupation and extraction lead to environmental destruction, or on a more discursive level, where hierarchies of life are used to justify and naturalise ongoing violence against people and places.
Whilst we are keeping this Call quite broad to encourage wide-ranging submissions, some paper topics or research areas might include:
•
Genocide and its links to environmental destruction, for example in Palestine, DR Congo, and Sudan, to name a few.
•
Ecological imperialism – theoretical contributions or case studies
•
Reparative justice and climate change
•
The construction of new ‘frontiers’ – how imperialism and extraction is moving to new areas such as the deep sea or space
•
Anticolonial and anti-extractive organising and decarbonization and fossil fuel phase outs
•
Indigenous approaches on relationality, connectedness and climate justice
•
The role of academics in perpetuating or resisting these forms of harm

we also had tunnels but they had too close them due to too many sexual assaults. Another fun fact!
