Titre : Natural Allies: Ecological Freedom and Alienation in Fanon

Romy Opperman (she/her) is originally from London and is currently Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the New School, NYC (Lenapehoking). She works at the intersection of feminist Africana and anti-colonial philosophy, environmental philosophy, critical theory, and critical philosophy of race. Her research foregrounds the importance of racism, colonialism, and imperialism for environmental and climate injustice and focuses on feminist Africana and anti-colonial philosophies to envision liberated climate futures. Romy is working on a book manuscript focused on practices and theorizations of freedom grounded in Black ecologies and is also exploring feminist alternatives to nuclearism. Recent publications include: “Protocols for a Grounding Philosophy,” in As for Protocols, “Charles Mills’s ‘Black Trash’: Reproducing Race, Pig Waste, and Ecological Resistance,” in Critical Philosophy of Race, and “Sylvia Wynter’s Caribbean Critical Theory,” in Creolizing Critical Theory: New Voices in Caribbean Philosophy.
