Convened by Dr Sarah Comyn, this plenary roundtable opened Day 2 of the UCD Humanities Institute’s ‘Post-Extractivist Legacies and Landscapes’ conference. It featured talks by Professors Iyko Day (Mount Holyoke College), Macarena Gómez-Barris (Brown University), and Elizabeth C. Miller (UC Davis). Engaging with a range of methodologies, including scalar and Marxist approaches, decolonial methodologies, literary studies, and artistic praxis, this roundtable interrogated the racial and colonial logics of extractivism and its futures.
