Professor Janaina Campos Lobo (Institute of Humanities at the University of International Integration of Afro-Brazilian Lusophony [UNILAB]) will share her current work investigating climate change from the perspective of Afro-descendant communities. Highlighting the strong relationship of these communities with their environments through climate ethnography, Professor Lobo’s scholarship underscores territorial ties and connections beyond the human dimension. Her presentation will explore these issues, focusing on how Afro-descendant communities perceive, experience, and respond to climate change through ancestral knowledge, local practices, and multispecies relationships.


This event will be conducted in English, with an advance copy of the talk available in Portuguese to those who request it when they register. Professor Lobo will also be able to take questions in Portuguese. Registration Information - Register here: https://brandeis.zoom.us/meeting/register/svyqBN6fQr6i9VJ8Gd_vmA
