DA x ACAN 2021

After hearing from a number of StuCAN groups all working towards climate action through the ACAN network at universities across the UK, DA were one of two guest speakers invited to offer a broader perspective of how decolonising often goes hand in hand with sustainability goals.

Our talk focused on Intersectional Environmentalism: we discussed the issues of western styles being perpetuated in construction globally; how ‘visions of modernity’ can be damaging; and assessed the value of vernacular methods for modern modes of sustainable living.
