Socio-Ecological Infrastructures and Finance


  • WCH Garrod: 2.35, Turner St, E1 2AD & Graduate Centre: GC604, Mile End Campus, QMUL, E1 4NS London (map)

This two-day workshop will bring together diverse scholars working at the intersection of finance, sustainability, and infrastructures, broadly defined to include both physical infrastructure and wider social and ecological dynamics. Invited speakers will lead debate on the entanglements of finance, race, gender, and colonial legacies in contemporary forms of economic and ecological crisis.

Programme and locations

Day 1: 19th March, 2-5pm at WCH Garrod: 2.35, Turner St, London E1 2AD

  • Day One of the workshop will explore how these scholars have brought different critical perspectives to bear on themes encompassing infrastructure imaginations, socio-ecological impacts of transnational flows of infrastructure investment, the global political economy of climate finance and governance, and everyday experiences of debt and structural dispossession, in communities across Southeast Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean.

Day 2: 20th March, 3-5pm at Graduate Centre: GC604, Mile End Campus, QMUL, London E1 4NS

  • Day Two of the workshop will explore methodologies for the study of these processes, drawing on the experiences of our key speakers, and of ECR scholars at QMUL currently engaged in empirical research on finance and socio-ecological infrastructures across different geographies.  

Confirmed speakers Dorothy Tang (Assistant Professor, National University of Singapore) and Keston Perry (Assistant Professor, UCLA)

Organisers: Isadora Cruxên, Mary Robertson and Jessica Sklair
