Miljörättvisa, urfolks landbaserade kunskap och social hållbarhet i Sábme

Title [en]

Environmental Justice, Land Based Learning and Social Sustainability in Sábme

Abstract [sv]

Placerat vid Uppsala univ., och i samarbete med samisk och internationell expertis vid flera universitet, sammanför detta projekt feministisk teknovetenskap, miljöhistoria, filosofi, antropologi, urfolksstudier och samisk kunskap med fokus på den svenska sidan av Sábme – arktiska Norrbotten. Vi adresserar miljöorättvisa med en övergripande ambition att utmana dominerande västerländska destruktiva förhållningssätt till natur och miljö utifrån urfolks ståndpunkter, erfarenheter och perspektiv, med urfolkskunskap, innovation och expertis. Målet är att formulera visioner för en välbehövd förändrad relation med natur och ”non-humans”, samt formulera visioner för långsiktig miljömässig och social hållbarhet. Projektet bygger på erfarenheter från tidigare och pågående forskningsprojekt, däribland EU FP7 project Networking for Communications Challenged Communities (N4C); The Seed Box: An Environmental Humanities Collaboratory ; Indigenous Climate Change Studies, FORMAS

Abstract [en]

Placed at Uppsala Univ, collaborating with Sámi and international expertise, this project works through the integrated lenses of Feminist Technoscience, Environmental History, Philosophy, Anthropology, Indigenous Studies and Sámi knowledges focusing on the Swedish side of Sámi territories. Adressing environmental injustice the overall aim is to challenge Western dominant relationships to nature and environment from Indigenous - peoples’ standpoints, experiences and perspectives, with Indigenous knowledges, innovation and expertise. Ultimately, the aim is to formulate visions for a much needed change of relations with Nature, and non-humans, formulating visions for long-term environmental and social sustainability. We ask:How have Sámi - Indigenous peoples struggled to provide land based expertise to settler colonial nation states and how are these struggles been linked to struggles for self-determination?What are the mechanisms in settler colonial nation states that exclude Sámi knowledges, experiences and concerns?How can Western science/technology research, government policies and economic activities be geared towards the integration of Sámi land based expertise and relational values towards nature? We draw on several earlier and ongoing research projects, such as: EU FP7 project Networking for Communications Challenged Communities (N4C); The Seed Box: An Environmental Humanities Collaboratory, Indigenous Climate Change Studies.
