Although we already know a lot about the ecological crisis, the amount of knowledge has not led to significant changes in the institutions maintained by people in the global North.
During the ecological crisis, many solid or hegemonic views are in transition. When discussing changes, it is customary to appeal to researched knowledge as an authority, but researched knowledge is constructed as part of prevailing moral-political understandings and social relations and thus maintains old structures in some respects. We need new ways of knowing that help us understand changing relationships. In the collective, we want to examine how knowledge is produced during the ecological crisis.
