Workers and the World: Fighting Ecological Crisis from Within, with Lorenzo Feltrin

Author talk in which researcher Lorenzo Feltrin discusses how workers can be key actors in fighting the ecological crisis.

Lorenzo Feltrin, a researcher at Ca' Foscari University of Venice, presents his work on the intersection of labour and nature. Drawing on Italian workerist theory alongside dependency theory and ecofeminism, he examines dimensions of the ecological crisis including automation, precarious employment, imperialism and social reproduction. The event, run jointly with the Centre for the Study of Social and Global Justice, argues that labour struggles and environmental justice are intertwined and that workers can be key actors in preventing environmental devastation.
