HUMEN (Environmental Humanities Group) is organising the third edition of its seminar on decolonial ecology throughout the 2025–2026 academic year. This is a way of strengthening ecological thinking by criticising the modernist, capitalist, neo-colonial and patriarchal options that are developing within it, but also by identifying, at the same time, the places and theories where alternatives are already being developed.

Here is the schedule for this second term:

• Thursday 26 February (3pm - 5pm, Council Room): presentation and discussion of the book Terres et liberté: Manifeste antiraciste pour une écologie de la libération (Land and Freedom: An Anti-Racist Manifesto for an Ecology of Liberation), edited by Fatima Ouassak (Les liens qui libèrent, 2025)

• Thursday 26 March (3pm - 5pm, room P61): presentation and discussion of Malcom Ferdinand's book, S'aimer la Terre: Défaire l'habiter colonial (Seuil, 2024)

• Thursday, 23 April (3:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m., Council Room): presentation and discussion of Diana K. Davis' book, Les mythes environnementaux de la colonisation française au Maghreb (Champ Vallon, 2012[2007])

• Thursday 4 June (3pm - 5pm, Council Room): presentation and discussion of Aymar Nyenyezi Bisoka's book, Afrocritique: Essai sur l’infrapolitique des luttes noires. Rhizome (Etérotopia, 2025), in the presence of the author
