Project details
The Politics of Time: Navigating the Temporalities of Climate Change (2020-2024)
Funded by the Research Foundation Flanders (FWO), this project examined climate mobilisation in an era of growing political volatility, moving beyond a conjuncture in which climate change was understood as the emblematic site of post-politics. In this context, it explored the temporal politics that underpinned intergenerational struggles, calls to 'act now', to declare a climate emergency, and to enact participation through citizen assemblies.
Just Air: The Spatial Politics of Urban Air Pollution (2015-2019)
Funded by the Research Foundation Flanders (FWO), this project examined how the spatial representation of urban air pollution, and its framing as spatially, and therefore socially, economically, and racially unjust, shapes its (de)politicisation. It explored how these representations open up or close down spaces for democratic public debate on air pollution, health and environmental injustice.
