A Feminist and Global South Perspective on the Overpopulation Discourse: Origins and Contemporary Implications

In this presentation, Dr. De Luca will delve into the critical misassumption that overpopulation is the primary driver of ecological crises. She'll unveil how this pervasive narrative has contributed to deepening gender and environmental injustices, with a pronounced impact in the Global South. 

Through examining the historical and geopoloitical forces sustaining this discourse, Dr. De Luca advocates for an ethical re-evaluation grounded in social justice, challenging us to rethink the narratives that have long shaped our approach to environmental issues.
