Workshop: Maroon Ecologies, Maroon Imaginaries This workshop traces alternative Maroon worlds and worldviews along two specific lines of inquiry, ecology and imagination. Convening scholars from across disciplines (including geography, archaeology, anthropology, literary history and sound studies), we will probe the different environmental and cultural contexts of Marronage. Our goal is to engage with Marronage as an ecological, political and creative practice, underlining how Black ways of engaging with the environment provide a conceptual and practical reorientation to anthropogenic climate change. https://www.dependency.uni-bonn.de/en/events/workshop-maroon-ecologies-maroon-imaginaries https://www.dependency.uni-bonn.de/@@site-logo/Logo BCDSS_web.png
