Corporate power • fossil capital • climate crisis
A three week-long course open to social science graduate students from across Canada
May 10-28, 2021 • University of Victoria
Join us for the Corporate Mapping Project’s third summer institute, offered by the University of Victoria Department of Sociology.
Space is limited — please RSVP by 28 February to secure your spot. The course is open to graduate students in social science disciplines at any Canadian university (for students at universities participating in the Western Deans Agreement, the course should be eligible for transfer credit, effectively waiving additional tuition). The Institute will be delivered entirely online.
This three week-long graduate seminar combines the sociology of corporate power with the political economy of fossil capital and the political ecology of the climate crisis. The Institute will focus extensively on the search for solutions, beyond business-as-usual, to the deepening climate crisis. The course will be directed by Dr. William Carroll, but will feature presentations, guest lectures and extensive participation from members of the Corporate Mapping Project network, including representatives from environmental, social justice, labour and First Nations groups.
The Corporate Mapping Project is a research and public engagement partnership led by the University of Victoria, Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives and the Parkland Institute. The CMP shines a bright light on the power of the fossil fuel industry by investigating the ways corporate power is organized and exercised (https://www.corporatemapping.
