paper presenting at the Digital Marginality & Plural Subjectivities conference
I’m delighted to be presenting a paper at the (hybrid) Digital Marginality & Plural Subjectivities conference hosted by the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities, at the University of Edinburgh. The conference runs 2-4 February and I’m presenting on Tuesday, February 3rd, at 10 pm NZT.
My paper, titled “Climate justice and the performing of prayer in digital spaces across transnational margins,” builds on my IASH Research Fellowship in 2024 into grassroots digital activism.
The paper explores the 2024 Tuākoi ‘Lei Declaration by the Pacific Conference of Churches and uses visual grammar analysis of digital images in the Declaration to reflect on the role of prayer in digital activism and what that means for how the West understands climate justice. The full paper proposal is here.
I’m grateful to the organisers who accepted my proposal – from among over 200 applications – and technology for allowing me to present without flying long haul.
