Overview
Key facts
The COVID-19 pandemic only contributed to shedding light on the social roots of the current environmental crisis. Human-induced deforestation and biodiversity loss, it has been shown, are a major cause of the spread of infectious diseases and pose a serious threat to public health.
Despite all this, political responses to climate change on a global scale have proved largely inadequate. The transition towards an environmentally sustainable society is undercut by the drive toward endless production and resource extraction which governs our economies.In the past few years, activists and movements worldwide have been increasingly vocal in demanding more decisive action for environmental and social justice. But how are we to effectively organise this demand from below? The second edition of the Lake Como Summer School in Critical Theory of Society will gather scholars of renowned reputation to discuss these issues from different perspectives.
University of Milano - Bicocca's Organising Climate Action Summer School aims to provide students with the opportunity to gain in-depth and cutting-edge knowledge on the topic of emancipation and organisation. The main objective is to create an international and cross-disciplinary environment of research exchange that can contribute to foster new original projects on the topic.
Programme Structure
Courses include:
- Expand the outreach of existing university programmes;
- Develop networking opportunities for graduate students and early-career researchers;
