UniPID Course: Extractivisms and Alternatives

Description

The main framing component of the course is analysis of extractivism(s) and implications for prospects and development of actionable and sustainable alternatives. From this grounding, we will explore different relevant philosophical views, as well as lived experiences derived from case study examples, in order to further explore the current plurality of uses of the concept and the variety of its forms of manifestations. The course will examine the different social and global contexts in which extractivisms are rooted and deployed. Students will come out of this course with an understanding of what constitutes an extractivist mindset and how to identify extrativist underpinnings in development projects and practices. They will be able to connect the lived experiences of extractivisims to academic analyses and debates on extractivisms and their alternatives.
