Funding Justice: a human rights theory of climate justice and injustice itself.

One challenge occasionally leveled at Grounded and Engaged Normative Theory is that the normative lessons gleaned from empirical work with one group of people, on one issue, or in one place cannot be the basis for a normative theory that applies beyond the context of study.


The Handbook launch will be followed by a day and a half workshop on the manuscript of Brooke Ackerly and Mujibul Anam.

This is an intimate workshop. Upon request, the authors are happy to open it up to scholars interested in thinking about the methods of Grounded and Engaged Normative Theory and the challenges of theorizing about climate change and justice in a way that takes on the epistemic politics of climate justice.

During this workshop, we will discuss the manuscript Funding Justice: a human rights theory of climate justice and injustice itself which Brooke Ackerly (Vanderbilt University, US) and Mujibul Anam (University of Griffith, Australia) are currently completing.

Please note that this workshop is invitation-only.
