8 December 2025The last Environmental Justice Café of 2025 is with Dr Julie Dayot. Everyone is welcome to join these monthly sessions dedicated to themes around Environmental Justice and organised by the Exeter Centre for Environmental Law (ExCEL).
Julie is an ethnographer working at the intersection of political ecology and ecological economics, with an interest in oil conflicts (and non-conflicts), indigenous people’s values, knowledge, and relationship with nature, with a focus on the Amazon region. She is a postdoc at the University of Exeter BS & ESI.
In this seminar she will present her work on what she calls “Oil Non‑Conflicts and Quiet Injustice” – an ethnographic investigation of the acceptance of the ITT oil extraction project by the Quichua communities of the Lower Napo River in the Ecuadorian Amazon, and the impacts of the project on peoples and territories.
You can join in person at the Peter Lanyon Moot Court Room, Penryn or online here.
