Building: Cabot Intercultural Center City: Medford, MA 02155 Campus: Medford/Somerville campus Location Details: Mugar 200 Open to Public: Yes Professor Erika George of Boston University delivers a guest lecture on the adverse human rights impacts of decarbonization strategies that rely on the extraction of critical rare earth minerals in the DRC and Chile. After offering an overview of how the logic of racial capitalism operates in the context of extractive industries, it will explain environmental human rights and review relevant domestic mining regulations and selected global policy standards on responsible corporate conduct and mineral supply chain management to detect ways the logic of racial capitalism is replicated. It will consider how international investment law and trade law are implicated and the potential for progress. In conclusion, it will argue that the right to a healthy environment can provide a foundation for ensuring mineral extraction is done in a way that ensures the transition to a green economy is racially just and respects, protects and fulfills human rights.

It will feel like swimming against the current. Have you noticed how water finds its way? What can we learn from water? As examples, Kannan will explain the impediments and resolutions in some Eastie Farm projects, whether it's about acquiring land as a grassroots community organization or building a greenhouse powered by an energy source unfamiliar to us, i.e. geothermal. The impediments faced range from the mundane (e.g.: permitting) to systemic and cultural ones (e.g.: hyper-individualism vs collectivism). How to go after low-hanging fruit: Train the mind away from focusing on what’s hard How to move in multiple directions simultaneously: Bust silos How to start small: Fight that attraction to big How to deal with the current system while changing it: Start where you are How to sustain the work, through thick and thin: Shrink, don’t disappear
