DESCRIPTION:Workshop: The End of Extraction as We Know It: A Roundtable Dis
 cussion\n\nThis roundtable brings together contributors to a timely and ur
 gent conversation in light of the intensification and transformation of ex
 tractivism in the context of the energy transition and geopolitical confli
 ct\, crisis\, and disorder. As states and corporations race to secure supp
 ly chains for critical minerals and position themselves as leaders in batt
 ery and electric vehicle production\, new forms of extraction are prolifer
 ating\, often under the banner of “green” development.\n\nYet these proces
 ses frequently reproduce longstanding patterns of violence\, dispossession
 \, and environmental harm\, disproportionately impacting Indigenous and ra
 cialized communities. Centering voices and experiences from the front line
 s\, the discussion foregrounds community-led resistance\, resurgence\, and
  alternative ways of knowing and relating to land and water. Bringing Indi
 genous\, feminist\, and decolonial perspectives into conversation\, the ro
 undtable explores how movements are not only contesting extractivist futur
 es but also actively imagining and enacting more just and relational energ
 y systems.\n\nModerator:\n\nDr. Sarah Marie Wiebe is an Assistant Professo
 r in the School of Public of Administration\, co-founder of FERN (Feminist
  Environmental Research Network)\, and author of Everyday Exposure: Indige
 nous Mobilization and Environmental Justice in Canada’s Chemical Valley an

 heir work seeks to further emphasize the role of kinship governance system
 s\, historically and contemporarily\, in the northeastern region of Albert
 a. Additionally\, Jasmine is both a Trudeau and Vanier scholar.\n\nDr. Jen
  Gobby is a settler living on unceded Abenaki territory in the Eastern Tow

 ettler extractivism.\n\nPlease RSVP here (by Mon. May 11th)\n\nFinancial s
